Title: Families of Adults With Autism
Description: What happens to people with autism when they become adults? Families of Adults with Autism is a collection of real-life stories of people on the autism spectrum growing up, as told by their family members. The individual accounts explore the challenges that families of people with autism face and looks at the techniques they have used to improve the quality of their children's lives, from mega-doses of vitamins and dietary changes, through to intensive interaction. The contributors also relate how they have worked with their children or siblings to help them to function at their highest possible level, be it showing an awareness of their environment, holding down a full-time job in a local store, competing in the Special Olympics, or achieving international recognition as an artist.
