The Cracks in the Code delves deep into the world of a place where the truth is often far stranger than fiction. Along the way the reader is invited to investigate the many varied facets of autism and the theories that surround it, and, guided by the author, is also encouraged to question the status quo. "Autism The Cracks in the Code, is one of the best books I have read on autism, and I have read quite a few. ... As one reviewer wrote, “Through the cracks will come light!”. Indeed, Stella will illuminate our understanding of autism one ray of sunlight at a time." Manuel F. CasanovaRevised Edition

Having been a carer herself, is passionate about helping families with sensory needs by setting up Koloko Direct a sensory friendly holiday site.
She is currently writing The Ciphers - the 2nd book in her series, Autism Decoded which updates and supersedes A Positive Approach to Autism (published in 2000).
This book really makes one think. Preconceptions disappear and the full complexity of the subject is clear. It’s put in a way that anyone can understand it and I believe is essential reading for anyone who is in any way involve with autism or its associated conditions. Stella Waterhouse has written a number of books on related subjects and I recommend those, too. Her experience and passion for the subject add new light on a much-misunderstood subject.
