Together Tara and Rhian open up the world of living, loving, and supporting children with autism and their families.

A treasure for any parent of a child with ASD. My son Harry was diagnosed with ASD two years ago, and I was left feeling alone and confused. Reading this book has taken me from the isolation so many of us parents feel, to a community of care and understanding. This book is like a much-needed hug at the end of a bad day.
An open, honest, and positive book describing everyday life for families living with ASD. Full of common sense, reassuring advice - a real bible for those with newly-diagnosed children - and explained with humour and love. It's full of helpful tips and strategies that ALL families would benefit from!
