Autism Handbook

The Autism Manual is the essential psychoeducational guide for parents, teachers and other professionals in education and child mental health.

An international leader in child behavior, Dr. Gustavo Teixeira provides information and guidance on autism: a behavioral problem with a high incidence in childhood and adolescence. He offers practical tips for treating this condition, which causes significant disruption to the lives of those affected and their families.

The first obstacle faced by those with autism spectrum disorder occurs during the diagnosis phase itself: the signs are subtle and vary from person to person, making it difficult to identify the disorder. The Autism Handbook is the ideal resource for parents seeking to understand these signs and begin appropriate treatment for their children as soon as possible.

With a master's degree in education from Framingham State University, a fellow of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and the author of other psychoeducational books, Dr. Gustavo addresses all aspects of autism. He answers key questions and provides the tools needed to establish a stimulating and welcoming environment for patients.

Those who follow the guidelines in the Autism Manual will be able not only to react appropriately to autistic behavior, but also to offer support to these patients, alleviating any difficulties they may face.

This is, therefore, a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the conditions of the autistic spectrum or who has a relationship with someone with this disorder, which already affects more than 600,000 young Brazilians.

The Autism Handbook is a comprehensive guide for parents, teachers, or any professional who works with autistic children and wants a better quality of life for them.
