According to statistics reported by CDC in 2020, 1 in 54 children in the USA were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in 2016. The latest statistics in the UK show that there are 700,000 autistic diagnoses. It is suggested that boys are 4 times more likely to get a diagnosis of autism than girls.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great book by Yasmin ! Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 May 2021Some great ideas and tips on how to deal with certain situations. For me the chapter on PEC's cards was the most valuable for now, as this is something we are currently looking to get started with and it has given me some great ideas for making my own. The teeth cleaning is also something we have been struggling with and I found this chapter helpful too. We will have a go with an electric toothbrush and perhaps a family brush time. Fortunately, we are not having problems with anything else but I now know I have this book to refer to should the need arise. An informative read, looking forward to the next book. 5.0 out of 5 stars Easy read and good to pick out the bits that relate to you and your child Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 May 2021 I received an advance copy of this book and I am leaving an honest and unbiased review. As a person that works with ASD children in a school environment, it is good to get tips from another professional on potty training as we have to carry on with the training at school as well as the parents at home. The book was easy to follow and written in an easy format that could be read, put down, and picked up again. Communication is always a problem and the ideas given were useful and practical. Would recommend Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 May 2021Great little book to introduce you to potty training.
