Although the underlying causes of early childhood autism are still unknown, recent years have seen much progress made in developing ways of helping autistic children to learn and practice social skills. Now this invaluable guide for parents, educators and physicians shows how an autistic child views his fantasy world and explains his difficulties in perceiving and understanding events around him. Dr. Wing reviews the behavioral and emotional problems which must be expected, and how these may be handled. Dr. Wing also discusses the particular stresses on the autistic child's family, services that can help, the role of parents' organizations, and the outlook for the future. The basic aim of this book is the careful progressive development of the autistic child toward integration in society through individual growth.

Despite their disabilities, children and adults with these disorders can be helped to cope better with life if the nature of their problems is understood. This guide explains how people with autism experience the world, the reasons for their disturbed behaviour and resistance to change, why they need an organised, structured environment with a daily routine, and the changes that occur with increasing age. Ways of teaching basic skills, improving communication, developing potential abilities and enlarging social experience are fully described. Sound advice is offered on coping with stress within the family and information given on the various services, state and voluntary, that are available. The latest developments in the field have been included to make this the most up-to-date and comprehensive guide to dealing with autism. Lorna Wing's lucid, sensitive, practical advice will be valued not only by parents but also by the many interested professional groups including teachers, psychologists, doctors, language therapist and social workers.

A party can make or break one's reputation. Oily fondue, dubious onion dip, and limp crudites might be remembered, but they are far from memorable. Lorna Wing, premier caterer and professional party thrower, teaches the reader of her new book all the essentials of hosting a fabulous fete. 
In addition to over 150 recipes, which are divided into Finger Food, Fork Food, and Drinks, Lorna includes menu suggestions; advice on location, lighting, music, and atmosphere; and guidelines for calculating how much food and drink to make according to your guest count. Her suggestions and ideas are drawn from her wealth of experience, which runs the gamut from simple, spontaneous brunches to the most extravagant and elaborately themed parties. Lorna's expert advice will ensure that your party will be remembered for all the right reasons.
