Ways Forward: Progressive Approaches to Providing Therapy with Autistic Individuals

"Ways Forward: Progressive Approaches to Providing Therapy with Autistic Individuals" presents a compelling representation of the best ways forward for therapy with autistic individuals that will prove vital to clinicians and many providing support to the neurodiverse community. The book presents autism as it is, a neurodiversity, a different way of being. It presents evidence and clinical insights from clinical researchers and individuals with lived experience. It has a focus upon strong, adapted therapeutic approaches to support and listen to neurodiversity with respect and empathy. I recommend this as a useful work for anyone who would support those with neurodiversity, and those who want to understand a person-centred approach to clinical work in mental health.
