Autism Spectrum Disorder is part of the How to Help series of books exploring issues commonly faced by children and young people at home and in school. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) offers a complete introduction to this complex and often confusing topic.

Arguing that every child and young person with autism can and should lead an inclusive and fulfilling life, Jo-Ann Page and Gavin Reid show that it is up to us as adults to ensure that this is possible--and show how parents, carers, teachers, and schools can help.
