      Understanding Autism is the essential reference for parents and care givers of children on the autistic spectrum. Written by two leading experts in the field, this updated edition covers key information, like the causes of autism and how it manifests at the various ages and stages of a child’s life, while also taking into account the importance of self-care for parents. Authors Katrina Williams and Jacqueline Roberts bring considerable experience to the table, and clearly, comfortingly explain how to cope with common problematic behaviors, conditions that can often appear in conjunction with autism (such as anxiety and depression), and how best to manage the child’s transition to adulthood. Their warm, supportive voices will reassure you as they sort myth from fact, and provide everything you'll need to know to understand autism.

    • Having discovered Welsh folk dancing as a freshman student at University College of Wales, Swansea, in 1960, Tenby-born Mavis Williams-Roberts became hooked for life on this Welsh tradition. She joined Parti Prifysgol Abertawe, the college's Welsh folk dance team, took part in many a noson lawen and competed in folk dance competitions at the Inter-collegiate Eisteddfod, the National Eisteddfod, and the Llangollen International Eisteddfod. Mavis recalls her folk dancing journey in this book, giving details about those who were at the forefront of rediscovering many of these folk dances and setting up the Welsh Folk Dance Society in 1949, such as Englishwoman Löis Blake. Mavis records highlights of her own sixty years in Welsh folk dancing, during which she has traveled widely to dance and taught the discipline in the USA; she explains the history and intricacies of some of the dances; and gives information about dances that she has composed herself. This is a bilingual book, with one color photo section, and diagrams to help with learning the dances.
