Overview:
This Autism 3 Books Collection Set brings together three trusted, expert-led paperbacks for parents, carers and educators supporting an autistic child. Written by Dr Luke Beardon, Senior Lecturer in Autism at Sheffield Hallam University, alongside award-winning journalist Jessie Hewitson, the set combines clinical expertise with lived parenting experience. From first diagnosis to everyday strategies, these guides offer clear, compassionate, practical support for families navigating the autism spectrum with confidence.

About the Books:
Autism and Asperger Syndrome in Childhood is Dr Beardon's foundational guide for anyone who knows little about autism until a child's diagnosis arrives, gently explaining what autism and Asperger syndrome mean in practice and busting the myths that so often cause misunderstanding. Autism in Childhood is Beardon's updated companion volume, referencing the BBC documentary Inside Our Autistic Minds, offering an honest introduction for those newly encountering autism and addressing the real issues families face day to day. Completing the set, Autism: How to Raise a Happy Autistic Child by Jessie Hewitson draws on her experience raising an autistic son, combined with input from autistic adults and experts including Professor Simon Baron-Cohen. Hewitson reframes autism as a difference rather than a disorder, keeping her child's happiness central, and covers school support, home life, healthcare navigation, and helping children advocate for themselves. Together, the three books form a rounded resource: initial understanding, ongoing practical guidance, and a happiness-focused parenting philosophy. Each title uses accessible, person-first language and respects neurodiversity, making the collection valuable for parents processing a fresh diagnosis and for educators wanting a deeper, empathetic understanding of the autistic children in their care.
