The authors first give an overview of autism, and then offer a new interpretation of issues that concern parents of children with autism. These include: What is the relationship between autism and the family? Do children have a greater impact on their parents, or vice versa? Should the focus be on treating the child first, or on providing psychological support to the parents? What misconceptions are parents prone to when it comes to autism? How can a good parent-child relationship be rebuilt? How can parents raise children with autism in a positive way? What problems might arise after re-establishing attachment? Should parents accompany their children to school? At the end of the book, the authors present the latest progress on attachment intervention.
