c2009. By Nancy Perry. For parents of children on the autism spectrum there is always the worry of what will happen to their child after they can no longer care for them. In this book Nancy Perry shows parents that it may be possible for their child to reach independence in adulthood if prepared properly and with the right supports in place. Perry has spent the last 11 years as the clinical director of a unique supported-living program for adults on the autism spectrum and others with executive functioning deficits. Perry thoroughly discusses the importance of teaching self-help skills and domestic responsibilities to children on the autism spectrum before they become adults with more ridged patterns of living and learning. Perry also explains why and how the program she works for creates structure and guidelines to best support adults on the autism spectrum so they can avoid common pitfalls and live as independently as possible. Peppered with both cautionary tales and success stories, Perry gives a realistic portrayal of what it takes to achieve supported independence as an adult on the autism spectrum. (Softcover; 262 pages)
