Customer Reviews
A great overall book
A great overall book. It covers pretty much everything you need to know on the subject. I enjoyed it.
User-friendly...
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
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.
