Children with High-Functioning Autism: A Parent's Guide

Children with high-functioning autism: a parent's guide is written by Claire E. Hughes-Lynch, PhD, associate professor of special education at the College of Coastal Georgia. Hughes-Lynch aids parents coping with a new diagnosis of autism to seek proper treatment and help their children "develop into his or her full potential." She provides an overview of conditions that often accompany autism, such as learning or language difficulties, and practical tips to choose a therapist or break the news to family and friends. Every aspect of the child's life is addressed, from making an informed choice about public or home schooling to encouraging cooperation between siblings.
