Book Description
Autism in Adulthood focuses on adults with autism and their families. By using information from research studies and treatment programs, it will provide a practical resource for parents, carers and autistic people themselves. The book discusses the problems and solutions related to educational and occupational attainments and ways of coping with psychiatric and other difficulties, and fostering independence in later life. The focus is not on cures or miracles but on the improvement in quality of life.
