Responsible and Responsive Parenting in Autism: Between Now and Dreams - [AUDIOBOOK]

Parents of children with autism have so much to learn and to manage, it's easy for them to feel alone and become emotionally drained. But there is a framework for making progress, whether the child is newly diagnosed or an adult. Reviewers call Responsible and Responsive Parenting in Autism: Between Now and Dreams a first-stop, must-read for parents, family members and caregivers.
The essence of any parenting journey relies on learning, connecting and loving. Each power informs the other. Each amplifies the other. Each power is essential for meaningful, courageous parenting. Writing with compassion and empathy, Shahla Ala'i-Rosales, a professor and clinician who's worked with hundreds of autism families, and Peggy Heinkel-Wolfe, a science writer and parent of an adult with autism, teamed up to offer effective, practical suggestions. Learn how to harness your parenting powers and tailor both scientific information and cultural wisdom to your family's needs.
