AUTISM, ANXIETY AND THE IMPACT UPON PARENTS This article, written by Dr Judy Eaton, is about the implications of how managing a highly anxious child with autism/PDA impacts upon parents.

AUTISM AND THE "FIVE MINUTE BUBBLE"
In her latest article Judy explains why so many children (and adults) who have autism struggle with many aspects of day to day life, and it is down to what she describes as being in a 'five minute bubble'. This is something useful to share will schools.

This review by T.Regan, titled 'Without equal', explains why it is such an important book - "I am the Director of the OSF Adult Diagnostic Autism Clinic in Peoria, IL and the author of two books on autism. I have gathered multiple books and web-articles on ASD in females and this book is by far the most helpf...ul and exceptional. I have recommended it to all my colleagues, and regularly use it to counsel patients and families. I reference and quote the book as a source in clinical reports to explain the context of certain ASD behaviors in women. I have found nothing that comes close to the quality of this book for ASD in females. (This is my personal opinion and does not represent any formal opinion statement from my employers)"
