A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step; the key players; parents, paperwork and pressure; counselling; the National Curriculum? - not quite; integration into work; our charity - the chase for cash; post 16 - the first year; Andrew's story' the final chapter?.
This book is about forming and developing equal partnerships between individuals with autism, their families and teachers. It is about two-way traffic: listening to the individuals and responding to their individual needs. This book is inspiring because it is based on real people who have complex needs and experiences. It shows how an organisation can develop into an ""autism friendly"" service within a mainstream society which so often creates barriers to people with autism.
