- I loved this book. It covers pretty much anything a parent needs to know, or links and examples to find the answers. I look back to when my son was being diagnosed, this would have been so very helpful. Great resource. Explained in laymans terms. - How to help an Autistic child be comfortable and grow to best abilities. - As a parent with a teen on the Autism Spectrum this book is the most valuable I have read and I have read many. I wish I had this resource many years ago. You could read and seek advice from all the so-called experts and not have the clear understanding and sound reference that you will gain from this book. - This a good source for people who are new to the world of Autism. The information is organized so you can skip to the section you need and there resources you can look up more ideas or information online. - A lot of great starting points and resources for parents of children with autism as well as reminders. Not just for parents but any family member or family friend who has questions about autism.
