Autism Disorder

Clem Bastow grew up feeling like she’d missed a key memo on human behaviour. She found the unspoken rules of social engagement confusing, arbitrary and often stressful. Friendships were hard, relationships harder and the office was a fluorescent-lit nightmare of anxiety. It wasn’t until Clem was diagnosed as autistic, at age 36, that things clicked into focus. Clem reflects as an autistic adult on her formative experiences as an undiagnosed young person, from the asphalt playground of St Joseph's Primary School in Melbourne to working as an entertainment journalist in Hollywood.

This audiobook is full of tips and ideas on how to implement behavior strategies into a child or client's treatment plan that will immediately help them with autism.

He read electrical engineering manuals to Cubby at bedtime.

This is our journey to that place of facilitation and happiness.
