Book synopsis

A straight-talking guide to parenting teenagers on the autism spectrum, this book offers a professional's perspective on coping with the issues that can arise during the difficult adolescent years. Andrew Schlegelmilch draws on his experiences working as Head Psychologist at a college preparatory school for teens on the spectrum to provide savvy advice on common parenting challenges. Integral to the discussion is how to set realistic expectations and encourage independence in ways that work for both the child and the rest of the family, as well as how to get the most out of the professionals that you work with. The book covers key considerations for this age group including developmental benchmarks, academic challenges, assessing strengths and weaknesses, mental health issues, relationships, internet and social media safety, the transition to life after high school, and the changing role of the parent as the child becomes an adult.
