Autism and Loss

People with autism often experience difficulty in  understanding and  expressing their emotions and react to losses in  different ways or in  ways that carers do not understand. In order to  provide effective  support, carers need to have the understanding, the  skills and  appropriate resources to work through these emotional  reactions with  them. "Autism and Loss" is a complete resource that  covers a variety of  kinds of loss, including bereavement, loss of  friends or staff, loss of  home or possessions and loss of health.  Rooted in the latest research on  loss and autism, yet written in an  accessible style, the resource  includes a wealth of factsheets and  practical tools that provide formal  and informal carers with  authoritative, tried and tested guidance. This  is an essential resource  for professional and informal carers working  with people with autism  who are coping with any kind of loss.
