The information provided in this book has given me great insight into my grand child's life. One grandchild has been diagnosed with Autism. Based on what I have read, it seems that his sister also has Autism but we just haven't recognized it before.I haven't finished the book yet. But I am finding that the author has absolutely documented facts about Autism and provided much needed information to me.
Excellent book with wonderful insight into the issues children with High Functioning Autism and their families face. Highly recommend for families, teachers, and health care professionals who interact with children with High Functioning Autism or similar difficulties.
This book was incredibly helpful and had such a positive tone. It emphasized the strengths - not just the weaknesses - of individuals with ASD. Highly recommend.
My dad is in love with this book... It was the perfect Christmas present for a parent new to their child's diagnosis, learning how to cope. It's effectively allowing him to learn more about my brother as well as allowing him to release the guilt he felt. Worth every penny and more, I'd definitely recommend.
This is a well written and informative .
Well written for a beginner to the field of Autism Spectrum, this book is a great reference for what to expect and allows the novice to realize that this is so much more common than one might imagine and 20 years ago when I went through this process with another child, there was nothing out there compared to what there is this time around. The frustration comes in finding parent support groups in small communities. They just don't exist and parents are far too busy with all that is going on in the new developments of their lives along with full time jobs and other children, to begin a group. This book does not help in knowing where to go for supportive parent resources as much as it is helpful in diagnostic and clinical resources. All three elements are necessary but the third is sorely neglected.
Very informative and well written...a must-have in every parents library! A heads up that the first half of the book had quite a bit of scientific information in it that may be more intense than some parents want, but it was definitely something that I was interested in reading.
This provides a good introduction for those looking to start learning about high-functioning autism spectrum disorders. The texts takes readers through diagnosis procedures to glimpses at possible adult independence. With the exception of some of the information on brain science, it's quite readable and includes many case study examples that bring life to the information. It's a good place to start, but you'll definitely want to do further study.
