GAP: Celebrating the first 10 years

Ref: ISBN-9781905218219

New publication

Good Autism Practice (GAP) was set up in 2000 to meet the needs of practitioners and parents living or working with individuals with autism spectrum of all ages.

This new reader celebrates 10 successful years of the GAP Journal and brings together a selection of papers published in the Journal during that time. The papers have been selected to represent the writings of parents and carers, people on the autism spectrum and professionals working across all services and sectors. Papershave been chosen which cover issues that are still current today in relation to practice and suggest strategies to enhance the quality of life of all concerned.

Some of the most poignant and powerful papers have been written by people on the autism spectrum. They have the ability to vividly convey how autism affects their lives and how the response of services and agencies can be helpful or a barrier to their well-being and success.

The reader will also contain an index to all articles published in GAP during its first 10 years.

GAP is published in partnership with the University of Birmingham, autism.west midlands and Autism Cymru.

Paula Johnston and Sue Hatton

‘The book vividly portrays the intense reactions and feelings that Paula experiences in relation to everyday events

The commentary provided by Sue Hatton - provides teaching staff and parents with much to consider when making appropriate responses and creating effective interventions to support individuals with an asd.’ Glenys Jones, editor Good Autism Practice Journal Paula Johnston, a woman with Asperger syndrome, shares her unique viewpoint and experiences on everything from world religion to violence, peer pressure and marriage.

But Conversations in Autism moves beyond anecdotes, valuable as they are. This book is a dialogue - a conversation between Paula and Sue Hatton, her supporter and expert practitioner and trainer in autism services.

The insights and experiences that Paula shares, and Sue comments on, help to unlock some of the mystery that surrounds children, young people and adults with an autistic spectrum disorder who do not speak, or who are labelled as having a severe learning disability.
