Living with Autism: The Sleep Guide

This is the first in a series of books from autism consultancy BeginningwithA. The series will present workable solutions to everyday challenges for families affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).  This first book in the series focuses on difficulties with sleep. 


Whether you are a tired parent struggling to develop good sleep habits for a child with an ASD or a professional helping a sleep deprived family, this book provides an easy to follow, interactive guide to good sleep hygiene.


The book is based on the academic and clinical expertise of the authors, one of whom runs a sleep service for children with an ASD. While the book reflects the academic and clinical expertise of the authors, it is based mainly on the everyday experiences of the parents they have worked with over many years. 


The book comes with advice from helpful interactive characters such as ‘Einstein’, who provides selective technical detail and ‘Hypnos’, who gives practical tips. There is an accompanying ‘WebChest’ of downloadable web-based resources and a dedicated Facebook page for comments, suggestions, discussion with other readers and news of other books in the series.
