Recovery following sexual abuse is unique to the individual. In addition to this, neurodivergent and autistic children are more likely to have a wide range of different communication needs, meaning that they may struggle to verbally express what has happened to them, and have more difficulty processing and understanding the trauma they have experienced. Supporting Autistic and Neurodivergent Children Recovering from Abuse has been written by a leading expert with lived experience - Dr Susy Ridout. Chapters focus on the key areas for support workers to consider, including how to re-build trust, understanding safety, and managing sensory and emotional overwhelm. The book is aimed at anyone supporting children who have experienced abuse. The book includes tips, strategies and adaptable activities to be completed with the child, to support the child's recovery journey.
