Synopsis

UNLOCK THE WORLD OF DS-ASD

The first edition of When Down Syndrome and Autism Intersect was the first book to focus on the unique profile of a Down Syndrome-Autism Spectrum Disorder (DS-ASD) diagnosis. Now with this greatly expanded, updated second edition, it remains the only book for parents and professionals offering a comprehensive guide to supporting individuals with this complex dual diagnosis. Written by a large team of veteran parents and experts in the field, it covers every aspect of caring for children and adults with DS-ASD. Full of good will and respect for the DS-ASD community, this book offers sound information and resources steeped in research and clinical findings. It is also grounded in respect and concern for the parents’ need for specialized supports. Families will find a treasure trove of anecdotes and practical advice, discovering that they are not alone as they continue on their DS-ASD journey.
