La très catastrophique visite du zoo

Joël Dicker

Description

According to statistics reported by CDC in 2020, 1 in 54 children in the USA were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in 2016.

It is suggested that boys are 4 times more likely to get a diagnosis of autism than girls. Autism does not discriminate; it effects all ethnicities and socio-economic groups. Getting the diagnosis and intervention early is better however unfortunately this does not happen for all families.

Like so many parents, you might be wondering if you are doing things right. Aside from being a Speech and Language Therapist, I am also a mum and I know the worry we put ourselves through. Speech and language are a highly complex learning areas that we take for granted. This is especially difficult if your child has more complex needs. If you have received a recent autism diagnosis, you mind is probably full of questions, you have likely been looking for answers on the internet. If this sounds like you, then you will have noticed hundreds of different sites offering information which is too complex and lengthy for light bedtime reading which is probably the only time you'll have to read without being distracted by what your child is doing.

From the point of view of an experienced professional and a parent, we are going to look at all the different areas of development but with children with ASD. I have put together all the information you need for now as it is easy to understand and absorb. This is the first book in this series, the other books will focus on all the different areas of difficulties.
