Adolescents on the Autism Spectrum
Author(s): Chantal Sicile-Kira
Adolescence can be a difficult time for everyone, but for parents of teens on the autism spectrum it's particularly nerve-wracking. Parents must learn to protect their children from the dangers of an environment that is not always understanding of their disease while also providing them with the skills and support they need to live as independent a life as possible. "Adolescents on the Autism Spectrum" offers strategies for helping children, whatever their ability level, through the changes of the teenage years, and prepare them for adulthood. Using clear examples, practical advice, and supportive insights, it covers: how to help teenagers understand puberty and hygiene; the specific health risks of adolescence such as seizures and depression; preparing for life after secondary school; and, teenage emotions, sexuality, appropriate relationships and dating. First published 2006.
