This is one book I shall be highly recommending and one that I shall be dipping into regularly for its wisdom and truth. Coping with autism is often likened to a roller coaster ride. Let's Relate provides a model communication highway on which to travel the autism journey and as the mother of a son with ASD, I can certainly relate to that.A -- K.I. Al-Ghani, special educational needs teacher and author of Learning About Friendship and From Home to School with Autism, UK, and The Red Beast.
