Deals almost entirely with sensory problems affecting autistic children. Handbook containing brief descriptions of autism treatments and resources. Also considered a pretty good introduction to Autism, e.g. for Parents. Revision published in 1996. Details many anecdotes from real life situations which clarify exactly why an autistic person reacts bizarrely to normal stimuli the rest of us would find unremarkable.
Author writes from an empathetic perspective.
Structured so that you can understand parts of it without tackling the whole book. Includes list of books and resources. Perhaps the same as the 1988 book or a later edition. It explained autism very well and I gave it to my son's teacher to read. Part of the series Clinical Child Psychology Library .
