Abstract

Occasional Paper No. 35 consists of two reports on post-diagnosis support for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The first report, Post-diagnosis support for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, their families and carers, by kylie valentine and Marianne Rajkovic, with Brooke Dinning and Denise Thompson, focuses on younger children. The second report, Post-diagnosis support for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, their families and carers: older children and young people, by Marianne Rajkovic, Denise Thompson and Kylie Valentine, focuses on older children and young people. The reports are based on literature reviews addressing the experiences of diagnosis, treatment and support for families with children who are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. They focus on the impact of Autism Spectrum Disorder on families and on their perceptions of the benefits of the treatment received and support models provided, as well as intervention studies and programs that assist transitions from school. The reports are also based on interviews with parents and Autism Spectrum Disorder service providers across Australia.
