“Kuluri tal-Awtiżmu: A Guide for Parents and Caregivers” is the first book about autism published in Maltese.

This book is a comprehensive resource for families and caregivers of individuals with Autism, providing practical advice, support, and guidance on how to navigate the challenges of Autism, and covers a wide range of topics related to Autism including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options.

It places emphasis on understanding, inclusion, and equal opportunity for Autistic individuals.

It also includes valuable information on how to support individuals with Autism in their daily lives, including tips for communication, socialisation, and behaviour management.

This book should be an invaluable resource for families and caregivers of individuals with Autism in Malta, who often struggle to find reliable information and support.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability caused by differences in the brain. People with ASD often have problems with social communication and interaction, and restricted or repetitive behaviours or interests. People with ASD may also have different ways of learning, moving, or paying attention.

We hope that the publication of this book will help to raise awareness and promote understanding of Autism in our community with April being Autism Acceptance Month.
