and easy-to-understand. The author offers her professional and personal perspective on the subject. For another mother’s perspective, I recommend He’s Not Autistic But…: How We Pulled Our Son From the Mouth of the Abyss.
5 Stars Excellent!
If you’re looking for a single book that encompases all the significant information relating to ASDs, this is the book for you. I liked it because the author lists any resources related to a particular topic in that section. There’s no searching through the back of the book to find what you need. I would suggest that any professional working with students/children with Autism pick up a copy.
2 Stars not helpful to us but could be for others
This book was not especially helpful in our case as it caters especially to autism and if you have a child with another special needs diagnosis it will not be very helpful to you.
5 Stars A great overall book
A great overall book. It covers pretty much everything you need to know on the subject. I enjoyed it.
