One of the few books on autism that features true-life stories which tell it like it is.
Honest. Heartwarming. Helpful. A must for anyone who works, treats, knows or lives with a person with autism. Includes a "shocking" expose' of the corrupt system serving our disabled. More importantly, tells parents how to fight back.

Yes, I am a contributor to this book. My brother, Michael, has autism. My chapter covers the success we had with auditory retraining.

The whole book, because it contains the lessons learned by the families of autistic folks, offers helpful insights and the "you are not alone" element that is so helpful when dealing with something as perplexing and frustrating as autism.

I was happy to contribute and even happier to see the end result. I think this will end up being one of the most useful books on the subject. It's a solid tribute to a wonderful fighter in the battle against autism, the late Bernie Rimland, founder of the Autism Research Institute.

This book is about the experiences of families with adults that have autism. I am in the process of reading it now. It is very interesting and informative. For families of older children and young adults with autism it is definitely worth reading. It goes into detail about some of the things that helped and things that didn't. I am enjoying it immensely.
