It can get better,
By A Customer
This review is from: It Can Get Better: A Guide for Parents and Caregivers (Paperback)
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.

Getting Better All the Time,
By
This review is from: It Can Get Better: A Guide for Parents and Caregivers (Paperback)
This booklet is an excellent tool for anybody who has cared for children with autism. It addresses the issues of behavior problems, e.g. meltdowns, routines, sleep and toileting issues and outlines behaviors that are often exhibited by children with autism.
Neurotypical (NT) and people on the autism/Asperger's (a/A) spectrum alike will get a lot out of this book. The clear, direct style of writing will certainly be appreciated by all readers. It's just a good old common sense guide. To make a good thing even better, this booklet includes a list of helpful resources. Soothing activities to ward off or help a child coming off of overload are given, such as a deep pressure massage and some soothing tapes. George Harrison is ideal for musical relaxation. This book makes me think of the 1967 Beatle classic, "Getting Better All the Time." To this author's credit, no promises are made, but helpful approaches are suggested.
