To help clients with autism think differently about their future, practitioners need to think differently about autism...
 
Solution-focused practice is founded on a firm belief that the full potential of every human being can be realised. This concise, pragmatic guide explains how the practice can be effectively adapted to help clients on the autism spectrum find solutions to their problems, by addressing autism not as a disability but as a different way of thinking. The first section is a helpful introduction to how solution-focused practitioners can gain an understanding of autism by viewing it from a 'different culture' perspective; the second part offers handy rules and tips for applying knowledge respectfully and creating successful conversations with clients.
 
People with autism often feel let down by social support services. This forward-thinking book is a vital resource for helping clients feel welcome and empowered in helping settings and beyond.

Conclusion.
'Autism and Solution-Focused Practice is simply, clearly and concisely written, explaining much that is a mystery to non-autistic people. The authors show us how autistic people think, how to phrase our questions, how to use visual communication methods, and much, much more. Their passion for work with autistic people will inspire professionals to take a solution-focused approach in their work with autism.' - Judith Milner, co-author of multiple books on solution-focused practice including Creative Ideas for Solution-Focused Practice
