"Understanding Autism in Adults and Aging Adults" by Theresa Regan PhD, published by IndieGo
Publishing, is a one-of-a-kind resource for families and professionals. Children with autism grow

behaviors and interventions have lagged dramatically behind the needs of aging autistics. This
unique book offers a glimpse into autism and aging and identifies supports and interventions.

Peoria, IL, April 20, 2017 --(PR.com)-- IndieGo Publishing is proud to announce the release of
"Understanding Autism in Adults and Aging Adults" by Theresa Regan PhD, as a paperback
(9781946824004), a hardcover edition (9781946824011), and an ebook (9781946824028).

Dr. Regan is a rare combination of adult neuropsychologist (specialist in brain-behavior relationships),

parent of a child on the spectrum, and Certified Autism Specialist. She has worked with adolescent
through geriatric patients in medical settings for over 25 years.

When working with her patients and their families, Dr. Regan is often asked questions that need thorough
answers to inform and reassure the autistic adult in a personable, realistic way that will meet their needs
as they navigate daily life: What will happen when my daughter is a young adult trying to build
relationships? Why has my middle aged father been misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder when he might
be autistic, and lacks an effective treatment plan? What should we do about our aging mother who is
showing increasingly rigid autistic behaviors and is misdiagnosed as having frontotemporal dementia?

To answer these questions and many more, Dr. Regan compiled her notes from many years of working
with autistic individuals and crafted this one-of-a-kind resource designed to improve the correct diagnosis
of autism spectrum disorder in adults. Filled with clinical stories that bring to life the concepts discussed,
the book provides strategy-based interventions to address issues of personal and household management,
medical care, communication, sensory processing symptoms, and emotional and behavioral regulation.

"The great strides we have made in understanding childhood autistic behaviors and interventions have
lagged dramatically behind the needs of aging autistics," says Regan. "Children with autism grow into
adults with autism. Understanding Autism in Adults and Aging Adults can serve as a resource that
families and clinicians turn to again and again for ideas and practical suggestions to build a successful life
plan for the adult in their life who has autism spectrum disorder."

James Runyon, Executive Vice President of Strategic Initiatives at Easter Seals in Central Illinois writes,
"Understanding Autism in Adults and Aging Adults makes a significant contribution to understanding the
challenges of adults with autism as they age. The case studies and illustrative scenarios highlight what is
both shared and unique to each person with autism as they maneuver a 'neurotypical' world. The author
doesn't shy away from tough topics including mental health, addictions, and navigating a complex
healthcare system. This book is a must read for caregivers of children with autism as they assist in the
