Summary: It can get better
Comment: A practical booklet for parents/carers, dealing with some of the difficult behavioural problems in young, autistic children all long suffering adults should be familiar with. The format, layout and illustrations are good and provide the reader with easy access to the topics which may be of particular interest to them. Temper tantrum, sleep problems and toileting are among these and will strike a chord with all carers.

Written in plain English by people who have obviously experienced life with autistic children, this booklet gives sensible, no nonsense suggestions and possible solutions to problems. I was particularly impressed by the fact that information was included about who to contact for further help, if this was required and also the inclusion of an item about looking after yourself. This is not as selfish as it may sound as the suggestions included activities for both adult and child to enjoy together, such as massage and relaxing to music tapes.

The booklet is clear and concise and the practical methods recommended are definitely worth trying, while no guarantees are given. What one should remember is 'It can get better'.

A welcome addition to the family bookshelf.
