If one's own child is diagnosed with autism, this is initially a shock for many parents. The manifestation and the exact appearance of the diagnosis depend on the classification within the spectrum of autism, but difficulties in interaction with other people and in flexible thinking are always to be expected. It is therefore important that families are supported professionally and empathically. In this book the author explains how educators in the different fields of activity can support the children concerned as well as their families in the best possible and individual way. On the basis of practical examples and taking scientific findings into account, the characteristic ways of thinking and behaving of autistic children are presented in an understandable way and exercises for their advancement are instructed. Parents or siblings also get one through this book.
