A practical guide to improving your child's quality of life

By: Polly Tommey,Jonathan Tommey

This book shares the authors' personal experience of bringing up their autistic son who at age 13 is now described as high functioning (from an early diagnosis of severe autism).

There is much that can be done to improve the quality of an autistic child's life.

The book includes: advice for the first year of a child's life; the facts and risks of vaccination; diagnosis and the impact on a family; a look at the therapies available and why different ones will suit different children; the importance of diet and how to alleviate the debilitating gut problems experienced by most children; advice on education and schooling; how to cope as a family and a couple; dealing with difficult issues such as puberty; and thinking about the longterm future for your child.

Autism

A Practical Guide to Improving Your Child's Quality of Life

By: Polly Tommey Jonathan Tommey

Jonathan and Polly Tommey's eldest son, Billy, was diagnosed with severe autism at the age of two. Today, Billy is a high-functioning teenager - thanks to the determination of his parents to discover as much as possible about autism, its causes and potential treatments. They show through their own experience how it is possible to improve the quality of life for children with autism. The book will give parents the confidence and knowledge to tackle the problems they face and find solutions, treatments and educational options that will work for their child. In his quest to help his son, Jonathan trained as a nutritional therapist and now supports many individuals with ASD at his Autism Clinic. His expertise forms an important part of this book. Contents include: getting a diagnosis; the gut-brain connection; tests and treatments; the link with toxins; diet and nutrition; health and wellbeing; coping as a family; educational approaches; choosing a school; looking to the future; and a comprehensive resource section. Practical and positive, this book provides much needed support, advice and encouragement for parents of children on the autism spectrum.
