Potential Challenges of Living With A Child With Autism is an English eBook for parents and caregivers. The 2011 third edition covers daily care, meals, sleep, travel, responses to challenging behavior, caregiver selection and family relationships.
Original edition credits: SBSA Clinical Team and Michele LaMarche. Copyright 2011 Special Learning Inc.
Edition context: This third edition carries a 2011 copyright. Its diagnostic overview uses older descriptions and treats DSM-5 as a forthcoming 2013 publication; the book should be read in that historical context.
The personal care chapter discusses bath time, preparing for dental visits and toilet training readiness. The mealtime section describes recording food preferences, including temperature, texture and presentation, while the bedtime section discusses routines and the sleeping environment.
The travel chapter covers preparing for car and airplane rides, choosing a vacation destination and packing communication supplies, including a device charger and a backup means of communication. The behavior chapter discusses communication, positive reinforcement and planned ignoring.
Later chapters cover caregiver qualities such as reliability and flexibility, sharing a child's communication routines with a babysitter, and caregiver breaks. Family sections address time with siblings, shared interests, divorce and support groups.
