Hi All
I'm Zero, I'm 25, F, based in Cambs.
I'm not new to mental health in general, having a depressive condition myself (although for the most part that's very much under control), but I am fairly new to ASD's. A year or so back, after much deliberation, and with a depression support website under my belt, I decided that I want to make a career out of helping people with mental problems, and I have just taken a new job - I start Monday - as a support worker in a home with a number of youngsters with ASD's.
I shall be reading as much as I can here, and am looing forward to learning more. But I am off shopping tomorrow, and wonderd if anyone can recommend a decent book or books that I should prehaps read, as an introduction of sorts to the conditions and/or working with them.
It'd be a great help, as I'm so excited about this new opportunity, and want to give it my all.
Thanks in advance, and well done on a great site
Zero
