 Might be a good starting point.... August 24, 2010

Personally, I didn't find the book helpful, but it has reasonably good general information about the spectrum. The book would probably be a good instruction manual for someone who is wealthy and lives in a state/county that believes in providing adequate care to these children; however, for someone in the trenches, it lacks practical advice.
 Doesn't Apply to me December 27, 2009

I suppose this is a good book for parents of children with autism. My child has a speech delay and I was wondering if there was a possibility he could have autism. The only thing this book did was pretty much confirm that my son does not have the disorder. The only reason I am giving it 2 stars is because the content doesn't apply to me. I was sort of hoping for more symptoms/stories about children diagnosed with ASD and less information on how to get help, etc...Otherwise, I suppose it deserves more stars if it was more applicable to me. Also, I've done so much research on my own about the subject, that the first half of the book was information I was already familiar with, so that was disappointing. In fact, I had to skip through much of it because it was redundant, but if you don't much about the disorder, then this book is a good resource.
 great book May 29, 2009

Excellent! March 13, 2009

If you're looking for a single book that encompases all the significant information relating to ASDs, this is the book for you. I liked it because the author lists any resources related to a particular topic in that section. There's no searching through the back of the book to find what you need. I would suggest that any professional working with students/children with Autism pick up a copy.
not helpful to us but could be for others February 23, 2009

This book was not especially helpful in our case as it caters especially to autism and if you have a child with another special needs diagnosis it will not be very helpful to you.
