I loved this book in its first edition, and as a pediatric occupational therapist I have recommended it to hundreds of family members, teachers, and therapists. This brand new edition is better than ever, filled with updated practical information, excellent resources, and much-needed insight into parenting or working with a child, teen, or even adult with autism. From the revised DSM-5 diagnostic criteria to educational approaches. therapeutic and biomedical interventions, and the latest research, Chantal Sicile-Kira has done a spectacular job once again, providing parents and professionals alike with a comprehensive source of useful, real-life guidance. Written with warmth, compassion, and wisdom, this is a book I will continue to recommend to my clients and colleagues as well as in the workshops I teach to parents, educators, therapists, and other caregivers. --Lindsey Biel, OTR/L, Author Sensory Processing Challenges: Effective Clinical Work with Kids & Teens and coauthor, Raising a Sensory Smart Child
I have a grandchild that has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. This was a very good book to read to help understand what is happening with her now and as she gets older. I also like the fact that it lists a lot of other books and resources that might be helpful.
This is a must-have book for teachers and parents alike. Understanding how children feel and why they react the way they do is key to helping them lead a happy, more interactive life.Cindy Stringer Wismerauthor of Never Push and Never Pull
In "Autism Spectrum Disorders", Chantal Sicile-Kira shares her immense knowledge, personal experience and insightful advice for families affected by Autism. She guides readers along the journey from diagnosis through adulthood, including an extensive compilation of resources and "food for thought" throughout.This isn't a book that you'll read once and place on a shelf, it's an invaluable resource that you will continue to refer to for years to come.Wendy FournierPresident, National Autism Association
A ditto from the forward "take complex information and simplify it." I love the way the author breaks pertinent information into reality. I stumbled across this book on .com and I'm glad I did. I highly recommend this book to all of interest about autism.
My 3 year old granddaughter is autistic and this book really helped me understand whats going on in her brain and why she reacts the way she does. This book was so helpful especially with all the different info on autism. I highly recommend it.
Wonderful resource! This is the first book I read while my son was going through the diagnosis evaluations for autism. It gave me a good foundation of what to expect and do for my son during his childhood. I highly recommend any parent of a child with ASD read this.
A five star is warrented here due to the comprehensive nature of the book for anyone wanting to understand the full range of challenges that families experience, but also who want to understand the solutions that are available to those who care about helping those with autism.
