| Re: Newbie in need of direction
An ASD diagnosis and isolation seem like natural companions. The behavior that goes with ASD makes social outings and relationships very difficult a lot of the time. In our experience, even family and dear friends seem to be at a loss with how to help, if they can even accept it at all.
For me, reading and talking and then more reading and talking has been the only relief I've found. That and lots of prayer.
I reccomend these books as a starting place:
Helping Children with Autism Learn, by Bryna Siegel
Let Me Hear Your Voice, by Catherine Maurice
Thinking in Pictures, by Temple Grandin
Good luck and God bless ya'll.
