   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 I was afraid the information in this would be outdated but it wasn't. I found myself nodding along, relating to almost all of the book.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!

   Wow this book was probably the most helpful book I’ve read. Most books are not so specific with practical help. But this one was. It gave me real ideas and tools to try. I highly recommend this to anyone with a child that has high functioning autism

   Great book filled with valuable information for parents who want to understand their kids or any other kids with ASD in the high functioning areas and as well for kids in the non high functioning area. I recommended to all parents and people that was to learn more about autism.

   I just found out that my grandson has been diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome. So I bought the book so I can deal with him in a positive manner. When I learn more about it I can't believe we didn't see this sooner.

   So helpful! I cant believe how many of my questions get answered on each page. This book is very hopeful and inspiring, reminding parents and kids to remember their strengths and enlist them in addressing challenges. I'm glad I have it to refer to over and over.

   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.
