Explores the relationship between ASD and mental health difficulties. This book offers practical guidance to help parents and professionals recognise and handle comorbid conditions, and dispels the myth that they are just a part of autism. The authors cover a wide range of common mental health problems experienced by children with autism, including obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety, ADHD, eating disorders, psychosis, stress, tics and depression, and illustrate these issues with case studies. They also provide vital advice in an accessible format and suggest strategies to ease the difficulties with which arise from these conditions.
