The Everything Parent’s Guide to Children with Autism

I am so very impressed with this book, and with others in this series. It is packed, really packed, with helpful information, resource suggestions, facts, great advice on daily situations. In fact, it’s like having a best friend whose been there, done that, and is willing to share it with you.

I should say that the one area that I would have liked to have seen addressed but isn’t is the realm of “alternative approaches.” Please do look at our other titles for that and look to this book for more daily guidance.
