    My 6 year old was diagnosed earlier this year with level 1 ASD. I was afraid the information in this would be outdated but it wasn't. I found myself nodding along, relating to almost all of the book. It was a great read after my son was diagnosed and I'm glad I got it!

    Part of being a parent is to continuously search for answers for one thing or another. When our 6 yr old son was diagnosed with HFASD, we were shocked and left searching for answers. The evaluation report recommended this book and it provided many of the answers and guidance we needed to get started on treatments, schools, strategies, etc., and also what to expect and plan for in the future. It's proving to be an invaluable resource at a time when intervention is time critical and just getting started is itself a struggle.

    The first part of the book goes over HFASD - how it presents, how it affects children and families, diagnosis, causes, treatments, etc. The description of how HFASD presents and how it affects socialization, education, behavior, etc. describes much of what we were seeing in our son. The second part of the book is an invaluable guide on living with HFASD that covers methods and strategies. The content is suburb and is helping us to become informed, make decisions, and develop approaches and roadmaps. The section on education and schools is particularly helpful at the moment given the state of our current school district.

    I'll add that one of the heart breaking facets of dealing with HFASD is the exposure to other kids with similar or worse problems who aren't getting the help they need, live in bad environments, and/or don't have good or informed adult advocates. I've been recommending this book to our son's doctors, teachers, school, library etc. in the hopes that it can have an impact on these cases.

    This is a book every parent with a child on the Autism Spectrum needs to have in their library. The authors write in a clear, concise style that gives you the information you need without having to dig for it.

    The book is divided into two parts. Part One discusses what Autism Spectrum Disorder is, how it is diagnosed, possible causes, and treatments. Part Two gives you the day-to-day advice and practical information about helping children with autism from early childhood through adulthood. If you find the material in Part One too theoretical to follow, or you are most interested in learning something to help you and your child right away, you can start with Part Two. I started with Part Two, since the possible causes of my son's autism, while interesting, was a case of "water under the bridge".

    Well written for a beginner to the field of Autism Spectrum, this book is a great reference for what to expect and allows the novice to realize that this is so much more common than one might imagine and 20 years ago when I went through this process with another child, there was nothing out there compared to what there is this time around. The frustration comes in finding parent support groups in small communities. They just don't exist and parents are far too busy with all that is going on in the new developments of their lives along with full time jobs and other children, to begin a group. This book does not help in knowing where to go for supportive parent resources as much as it is helpful in diagnostic and clinical resources. All three elements are necessary but the third is sorely neglected.

    My dad is in love with this book... It was the perfect Christmas present for a parent new to their child's diagnosis, learning how to cope. It's effectively allowing him to learn more about my brother as well as allowing him to release the guilt he felt. Worth every penny and more, I'd definitely recommend.

    The information provided in this book has given me great insight into my grand child's life. One grandchild has been diagnosed with Autism. Based on what I have read, it seems that his sister also has Autism but we just haven't recognized it before.

    I haven't finished the book yet. But I am finding that the author has absolutely documented facts about Autism and provided much needed information to me.
