An Autistic Perspective: Death, Dying and Loss

This short book shares how death, dying and loss are experienced from the perspective of someone with autism, it explains the observable behaviours, the thinking behind these behaviours, and what you can do to help the autistic individual. My hope is that by going into detail in an honest and frank way about my experiences, thinking and behaviours, this will help to give insight into the autistic mind. Throughout the chapters I share tips and ideas that parents, carers, partners or friends can do to help the autistic individual, and to understand them and interact with them in a way that respects their model of the world and way of managing things. I also break down the triad of impairments which are the three areas autistic traits fall into, sharing what you can do to help the person with autism and additional needs they may have and how these can impact on their handling of loss, dying and death.
