Summary
"Using the easy-to-remember acronym S.C.A.R.E.D. [Safe, Calm, Affirmation, Routine, Empathy, Develop a Plan], coined by the clinical psychologist Will Richard, this guide offers strategies and practical techniques that will be a valuable reference tool to anyone in a first response situation. The authors have created a training program to explain the autistic experience and mindset, and guide the interventions of first responders to autistic individuals in crisis." - BOOK JACKET
