Now available: New guide to autism in the Rhein-Neckar district!

In the Rhein-Neckar district there is now a new guide that offers all affected people, relatives and specialists in the field of autism spectrum disorders. The brochure entitled "Understanding and accompanying autism spectrum" was recently published and is intended to help create orientation and serve as a reference work. It is particularly important that the different manifestations of autism that affect behavior, communication and perception are extensively treated. According to estimates, about 1% of the population are affected, but usually passes before a diagnosis is made, which makes early support difficult. This is reported by the leimen blog .

The new brochure not only offers theoretical information, but also takes into account the real questions that many parents and relatives have on this topic. Silke Ssymank, the municipal disability officer, points out that there has been an increase in consulting inquiries in recent years. Many parents fight with organizational hurdles to find the necessary support for their children. The guide offers the first contact points and self -help options that can be helpful.

content and target groups

The brochure is diverse and is aimed at a broad target group: from those affected to their relatives to specialists in medical and therapeutic institutions. The focus is on topics such as diagnostics, therapy, communication and practical information on barrier -free interior design. The aim is to make the phases of life and transitions for people in the autism spectrum more understandable and more manageable.

In order to ensure a holistic approach, the brochure was developed as part of a participation process. Experts as well as relatives of self-help associations and people in the autism spectrum have brought their experiences in texts and images. This shows that a good hand has been proven to grasp the needs of everyone involved.

advice and support

The Lebenshilfe BAB also offers specialized advice for those affected. This is aimed at both children with autism and young people who need advice. The information offered is extremely diverse. They range from general information on the autism spectrum disorder (ASA) to organized support offers such as specialized day care centers or schools. Consulting offers can be individually adapted to respond to the needs of the advice seekers, as can be seen on the website of the Lebenshilfe Berlin

In Germany there are also numerous support options for children with autism. Early funding, specialized forms of therapy and schools with inclusive concepts are just a few of the adapted offers. Financial aid through state support is also available, but their application can often be challenging. The strong shoulders offer a comprehensive overview of how the various offers in Germany are designed and which ways can go to support.
