Understanding Autism — A Home Educator's Guide

Understanding Autism — A Home Educator's Guide

A current, evidence-based guide to autism for home educating families. Covers the neuroscience of autism and what is actually happening in the brain, how autism presents across five domains — sensory processing, social communication, executive function, interoception, and restricted interests — autism in girls and the presentation gap that leads to late and missed diagnosis, co-occurring conditions, and the genuine strengths of autistic learners. Includes practical strategies for the home learning environment and a full list of Australian resources. Written for families who want to understand their child's neurology — and build an education around it rather than against it.
