 A great overall book June 29, 2008
Steph (PA)
A great overall book. It covers pretty much everything you need to know on the subject. I enjoyed it.
User-friendly... March 27, 2008

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.
 great expectations--very disappointed February 25, 2008

I had great expectations for this book and was very disappointed. If you have a child "somewhere" on the spectrum, you might be like me searching for a comprehensive book that details characteristics, dev info, etc on every part of the spectrum, instead of spending hours sorting through all of the web-based mumbo-jumbo about autism. Just give me the facts.
However, I won't bash this book completely -- it is useful for helping you navigate ASD resources and the slew of doctors that you will face and how to negotiate more early intervention services for your child. The book just isn't a "guide" as the title suggests -- although the author tells where else to go for more information.
The best I've read yet October 1, 2007

Wow, this is the best I have read yet on autism,it actually covers other disorders on the spectrum and after reading it at the library first,I went to buy my own, as i wanted to have it always with me.This includes grief for me! now that is a good thing,(also for carers),then the list goes on, to much to list here,definately a guide for us,in understanding these disorders,i found this material also good for understanding ASD adults. A must read for sure.
Just diagnosed? Read this book! September 28, 2007

When we first learned our twins were both on the Autism Spectrum, I needed more information and direction to immediate resources. This book has both and so much more from a PARENT's prespective. I found it helpful, empowering, and realistic for moms like me reeling from the initial shock. I'm so glad I bought it, read it and have it on my shelf as a reference guide!
