Finding Your Child's Way on the Autism Spectrum

It seems that nearly everyone knows a family with an autism spectrum child. Most recent figures suggest that the prevalence of all autism spectrum disorders in the United States is an astonishing 1% of the population, translating to twelve million parents and grandparents who are seeking answers.

There are many books available on how to cure an autistic preschooler, but none on how to raise one to adulthood. These promised cures raise parentsÂ’ hopes, but most parents will find that they are dealing with a lifelong challenge no matter what they do.

Dr. Laura Hendrickson is a trained psychiatrist, biblical counsellor, and mother of an autistic son. Building on her medical background and practical experience, Finding Your ChildÂ’s Way on the Autism Spectrum presents autism spectrum disorders as different developmental pathways rather than disabilities.

Finding Your ChildÂ’s Way on the Autism Spectrum gives the reader sound, practical tools for understanding how to guide an autism spectrum child to function more fully as the person God created them to be.

Dr. Hendrickson is a member of the National Association of Nouthetic Counsellors, and the author of two books on biblical counselling issues, as well as co-author of Will Medicine Stop the Pain?
