The first edition of When Down Syndrome and Autism Intersect was the first book to focus on the unique profile of a Down Syndrome-Autism Spectrum Disorder (DS-ASD) diagnosis. Now with this greatly expanded, updated second edition, it remains the only book for parents and professionals offering a comprehensive guide to supporting individuals with this complex dual diagnosis. Written by a large team of veteran parents and experts in the field, it covers every aspect of caring for children and adults with DS-ASD. Full of good will and respect for the DS-ASD community, this book offers sound information and resources steeped in research and clinical findings. It is also grounded in respect and concern for the parents’ need for specialized supports. Families will find a treasure trove of anecdotes and practical advice, discovering that they are not alone as they continue on their DS-ASD journey.
When Down Syndrome and Autism Intersect has been awarded the Mom's Choice Gold Award and the Nonfiction Book Awards Gold Award.
“We are happy to award deserving books like When Down Syndrome and Autism Intersect, A Guide to DS-ASD for Parents and Professionals.

“The recognition of the dual diagnosis of Down syndrome and autism has evolved significantly, challenging previous beliefs that individuals with Down syndrome were unlikely or even immune to autism. I feel that this book highlights the critical need for more appropriate educational and vocational content due to the profound impact this subject has on community and familial support systems.” – Nonfiction Books Awards

About the Author
Margaret Froehlke, RN, BSN is the mother of four adult children, including her 30-year-old son Brennan, who has DS-ASD. Brennan’s birth was the catalyst of Margaret’s life passion, advocating for and supporting individuals with IDD and DS-ASD and their families. Margaret lives in Colorado with her husband Bob and Brennan.
Robin Sattel, MS is a mother, grandmother, author, entrepreneur, and passionate advocate who has devoted her 30+ year career to individuals with IDD and their families. Her son, Tom, entered the world with an extra 21st chromosome 36 years ago. Later, Robin adopted her daughter, Janet Kay, who also had Down syndrome - plus a little something extra - which Robin suspected early on was autism spectrum disorder. Janet Kay’s official DS-ASD diagnosis (at age 10) immediately inspired Robin’s uncompromising devotion to, and love for, the DS-ASD community. Robin lives in Denver, Colorado, where she co-owns A Brighter Community, an enchanting day services program where she has the privilege of hanging out with scores of friends with IDD every single day. Not surprisingly, she reports that her ABC friends are the coolest people on planet earth.
