Mothering is always challenging, but autistic mothering in a neurotypical world is fraught with many difficulties which are not recognised or understood. Like all mothers, autistic mothers need understanding, acceptance, and support to fulfil this important and most rewarding of roles. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is about an autistic mother who, because of the period in which she was born, was not understood, accepted, or supported. It's also an autobiographical account of her daughter's journey of reconciliation, through discovery and acceptance of her mother as autistic. The positive impact of this is seen in the daughter's acceptance and understanding of autism, which also influences her choice of career. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike the cover of the book, it's about Kintsugi - the art of making something beautiful out of that which was broken.

They describe the challenges they faced in establishing and running an Integrated Resource for these children within a mainstream secondary school. The twenty-four pupils at The Resource participate in the regular school curriculum, but also learn a wide range of additional life skills. These include road safety, work-place skills and using public transport as well as expressing feelings, making choices and learning from experience. One innovative area of work at The Resource is the work placement scheme which has given pupils the opportunity to work with local companies including a supermarket and an insurance firm. In addition to this, The Resource has established a partnership with a further education college to enable their pupils to gain further support after they leave school. These projects demonstrate the encouraging possibilities in employment and the wider world for young people on the autistic spectrum.  The experiences of these special pupils and their peers and teachers provide lessons as well as messages of hope and understanding for parents and professionals within the field of autism. The authors make useful, practical suggestions for access and inclusion, showing how those with autism or Asperger's Syndrome can participate fully in the world of work and the community.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49594627784977,"sku":"GOR003385775","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52111318090001,"sku":"NGR9781853029868","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1853029866.jpg?v=1751123292"},{"product_id":"autism-spectrum-and-further-education-book-christine-breakey-9781843103820","title":"The Autism Spectrum and Further Education","description":"This guide for professionals working with students with autism spectrum conditions (ASCs) in further education meets the increasing demand for information and support on this subject.
