Great Read,
By
This review is from: Autism Undiagnosed (Paperback)
Autism Undiagnosed, by Big Bertha Evans, is a wonderful story of courage and the misunderstandings that take place as a result of an undiagnosed disease. Brian's story is heartwarming, and Big Bertha's telling of his ongoing tale is wonderful. Reading this book will make you want to give Brian and Bertha the biggest hug imaginable, and my best wishes go out to this wonderful man who has made it despite terrible odds. I place this book in my top ten to read, and would recommend it for anyone!

"Autism Undiagnosed" Fantastic Reading For All - A Learning Tool For Autism,
By Joseph Frank Baraba "Joseph Frank Baraba" (New Mexico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Autism Undiagnosed (Paperback)
In reading " Autism Undiagnosed," By Big Bertha Evans has opened my eyes and I'm sure thousands of other people's eyes to children with Autism. Just like her first book: " Joy And Sorrows of Living With Adult Autism," She brings forth the heart break of a child with Autism and the struggles he goes through and his mis-diagnosis. In reading her story about Brian your heart aches for him and yet as the story progresses from childhood to teenager to adult you find yourself rooting for him and in the end a special love comes from your heart for Brian, he's one special person. Big Bertha Evans has a hit, I give her five ***** stars for a story that's important to everyone wether you have a relative or a child with Autism, these are very special children and adults, it's a must read book.....

A Useful Resource and Recommended Read,

This review is from: Autism Undiagnosed (Paperback)
AUTISM UNDIAGNOSED
By Big Berthan Evans (Review by Loretta A. Murphy-Birster, MSN, CSN, RN) The clinical spectrum of autism is a broad one that has grown significantly in definition, diagnosis and detection over the past twenty years. Once thought to be a disease of childhood, the disorder is now being diagnosed and treated in not only children but adults. Brian Evans is one of those adults. In Autism Undiagnosed, his wife, Big Bertha Evans, helps Brian tell his story. From infancy to college, Autism Undiagnosed follows Brian's footsteps forward as he blazed his trail toward adulthood and independence. Imagine knowing you were different from other people but not being able to understand why or what to do about it. Autistic individuals lack empathy. They do not have the ability to communicate with others as effectively or efficiently as those without the disorder. Autism is not a disease of intellect but of communication, socialization, and comprehension. Big Bertha's unique ability to look at her husband's life through her own eyes gives the reader an inside view of the autistic mind and how it works. The book is an invaluable resource to parents attempting to understand their child's autism, teachers struggling on how to successfully integrate and teach these special needs children in their classrooms, and health care professionals faced with the challenges of compassionately caring for persons with autistic symptoms. Life is not a textbook. Individuals with autism do not all look, act, or respond in the same way. Brian Evans is a handsome young man who is an accomplished singer and attended college. His photographs do not hint at the disorder that has caused him so much pain and suffering. Yet the disability linked to the behaviors that are part of his autistic complex very definitely exist. Knowing what an autistic individual is experiencing helps others understand the behaviors that accompany the thoughts and feelings. This is a valuable key towards insight. Cookie cutter approaches to any illness or disorder sometimes causes the caregiver - whether parent, teacher, or clinician - to resort to one or two approaches when dealing with the diverse spectrum of symptoms, behaviors, and findings associated with autism. Each autistic individual requires unique and individualized interventions. Autism Undiagnosed will help those in a position to educate and teach better understand how to make a difference in the life of autistic persons by first understanding how autism causes them to think, feel and respond to their world. Autism Undiagnosed is Big Bertha Evans' second book on autism. Her homespun and candid style makes for an easy and enjoyable alternative to journal articles and psychology texts on the subject. This book is a recommended read for those in the education and healthcare fields. Students in these professional studies will benefit from exposure to Brian's story. The book will be a useful resource to offer parents who may have limited knowledge or unrealistic ideas about their child's autism diagnosis and what it will mean to their academic, social, and adult life.
