Managing Family Meltdown: The Low Arousal Approach and Autism - London Jessica Kingsley 2010

This book offers practical strategies to help resolve common challenging behaviours associated with autism, using a low arousal approach. The authors explore the difference between managing and changing behaviour; how our own behaviour can influence the situation; and show how by reducing stress and anxiety, children are better able to process information and become less likely to react in challenging ways. Contents include: understanding autism; understanding challenging or distressed behaviour; the low arousal approach; using video; relationships - keeping it together!; medical issues; other common problems; looking after your health.
