‘Autism and Everyday Executive Function’

Book cover, 'Autism and Everyday Executive Function, A Strengths-Based Approach for Improving Attention, Memory, Organization and Flexibility'  by Paula Moraine. Book's title is inside a white circle with multi-colored circles or dots radiating outward from the center of the circle exterior toward edges of the book's cover.
For a thorough explanation of executive function as developed by people with autism, I recommend Autism and Everyday Executive Function by Paula Moraine (Jessica Kingsley Publishers, November 2015).

Moraine recommends identifying an individual’s particular strengths (described as “Autistic Access Points”) and applying them to “unlock” or support the development of executive function in a child on the autism spectrum.

With comprehensive detail, Moraine describes the “languages” with which people communicate, the “ingredients or tools” that can especially assist children with autism, and the eight skills of executive control.
