{"product_id":"autism-and-the-family-in-shubhangi-vaidya-9788132238645","title":"Autism and the Family in Urban India: Looking Back, Looking Forward","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe book explores the lived reality of parenting and caring for children with autism in contemporary urban India. It is based on a qualitative, ethnographic study of families of children with autism as they negotiate the tricky terrain of identifying their child s disability, obtaining a diagnosis, accessing appropriate services and their on-going efforts to come to terms with and make sense of their child s unique subjectivity and mode of being. It examines the gendered dimensions of coping and care-giving and the differential responses of mothers and fathers, siblings and grandparents and the extended family network to this complex and often extremely challenging condition. \u003cbr\u003e The book tackles head on the sombre question, What will happen to the child after the parents are gone ? It also critically examines the role of the state, civil society and legal and institutional frameworks in place in India and undertakes a case study of Action for Autism; a Delhi-based NGO set upby parents of children with autism. This book also draws upon the author s own engagement with her child's disability and thus lends an authenticity born out of lived experience and in-depth understanding. It is a valuable addition to the literature in the sociology of the family and disability studies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shubhangi Vaidya\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8132238648\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788132238645\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.41d","brand":"Shubhangi Vaidya","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47425469055231,"sku":"9788132238645","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7fb2179d-0979-4b36-a300-6dbc3d428069.jpg?v=1761539436","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/autism-and-the-family-in-shubhangi-vaidya-9788132238645","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
