Can the World Afford Autistic Spectrum Disorder? (2009) First Steps In Intervention With Your Child With Autism (2009) — Dr. Tantam's book —”One of the major difficulties for a child with autism is developing social empathy in the same way as their peers.

This book champions initial intervention with young children, but the practical ideas and strategies can also be usefully applied to children of school age if they are at an early stage of communication.” takes us through a fascinating tour of a world where social experience is essentially the co-creation of people engaged in fast, broad, and essentially nonverbal inter-action. Words are slow, linear, and often obfuscate rather than illuminate others' intentions. This vastly neglected area of research is also likely the single greatest challenge for individuals with autism.
