Synopsis:

Although children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be as healthy as other children, keeping them that way can be a challenge. Routine doctor visits, for instance, can be especially trying for children with ASDs due to sensory sensitivities or communication difficulties. Issues such as sleep problems, unusual eating habits, and impulsive or aggressive behaviours can also threaten their health. Experts in the field of autism, offer parents accessible and authoritative information for dealing with these challenges and understanding what's most important to their child's medical, nutritional, and behavioural well-being. The book covers the following topics: Handling doctor visits and hospitalisations; Growth and nutrition; Safety issues at home, school, and in the community; Sleep; Seizures; Dental care; Sensory issues; Medications and behaviour; Adolescent issues; Behavioural deterioration; Complementary and alternative treatments.
