Recensioner i media

`Betts and Patrick have successfully managed to describe many handy hints used by parents of children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder that have proved valuable in understanding better the implications of disorders of communication, social relatedness, and self regulation found in children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). They give many examples of simple interventions that parents can use to help their child with ASD to cope better with the daily demands made on the child, to reduce stress and to make more sense of the world… Homespun Remedies is easy and enjoyable to read and it will help parents/carers and those unfamiliar with ASD to gain an introductory picture of what it means to live with ASD and how to remedy some of the difficulties associated with it.'
