Review:

The Official Autism 101 Manual is an important and dynamic resource.

Topics range from diagnosis to family support and traditional therapies. Some topics, such as building self-esteem of persons with ASD and understanding areas of strength, have too rarely been addressed in a field that has been preoccupied with a 'deficit-checklist' model for so many years.

Ongoing, online updates will keep this manual an invaluable resource for parents and professionals alike."

--Barry M. Prizant, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, Director, Childhood Communication Services, Adjunct Professor, Center For the Study of Human Development, Brown University

Karen Simmons' expertise in embracing life and reframing autism shows us all how to lead a positive, fulfilling, and productive life while supporting loved ones with special needs. --Stephen Shore, Ed.D.

As a parent, child advocate, university instructor, author, learning and reading specialist, I know The Official Autism 101 Manual is a real gift for every parent and professional.

Each chapter has pearls of wisdom and practical nuggets of advice for a parent who has just discovered their child has autism, or professionals who want leading edge information to better help their patients. --Pat Wyman, Best Selling Author, Learning vs. Testing, Strategies That Bridge The Gap, Founder and CEO, HowToLearn.com, University Instructor for Teachers, California State University, East Bay, Creator of I Read I Succeed Program
