This is an Early Support information resource on autism spectrum disorder and looks at getting a diagnosis, what happens after diagnosis, the effect of autism spectrum disorder on the family and where to go for further support and information.
This publication also gives guidance on the signs and characteristics of autism spectrum, understanding your child’s behaviour, interacting and communication, the early years, school years and developing independence.
If you are looking for general information, books by people with an autism spectrum disorder, books for family members or useful organisations and websites you can find them in this resource.
