It's known that 1 in 60 children are somewhere on the autism spectrum.
Unfortunately in the UK there is a waiting period of anywhere between two years to 36 months for the condition to be diagnosed.
Many families of children on the autistic spectrum are bewildered by what is happening and are, understandably, desperate for help, advice and reassurance.
It is Dr Ng's hope and intention that her book will help to fill the very real gap that exists.
Based on her expertise and knowledge as an award-winning top paediatrician and her own personal experiences of raising her son, Brendan, May Ng offers readers a very helpful insight in to what it is like to be the parent of a child on the autism spectrum, what resources are available to families and also offers some very welcome practical advice based on her own experiences.
She has tried many different forms of treatment, some mainstream, some alternative, and can offer her own tips as to what works and what doesn't work.
Thankfully, Brendan is, at 13, a happy boy and is in a school that is dedicated to teaching children who have autism.
The book is a must have for parents of children with autism, GPs, paediatricians and school teachers.
It is £8.99 and is published by The Book Guild.
