In this book his mother, with great honesty, describes what it is like to bring up an autistic child who requires constant care and exhibits challenging behaviour. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten partly in diary form, Growing Up Severely Autistic covers the minutiae of daily life with vivid immediacy, from preventing Gabriel eating the goldfish, to helping him through his grief on the death of his father. Gabriel's life and relationships with his family are traced from early childhood, through his school days to his entry into residential care at the age of 17. With affection and humour, Kate Rankin has written a personal and intimate study of someone who is very different from those around him, and who cannot himself articulate his experiences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kate Rankin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1853028916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781853028915\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica Kingsley Publishers, Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.30w x 0.49d","brand":"Kate Rankin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939014377727,"sku":"9781853028915","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_63f6cfae-1388-4515-a363-c2981b59e9d2.jpg?v=1681438991","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/growing-up-severely-autistic-kate-rankin-9781853028915","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
