Ploughed through understanding autism last night (it's only 77 pages). Really helpful tips in it for avoiding and managing meltdowns.
Also gave me an insight into my son's behaviour that it may be linked to anxiety rather than anger or frustration

Glad you are finding the benefit of these books already!
