From the Author

I hope you find my book helpful.  I really enjoyed putting my thoughts together into one place for parents.  It was a very joyful, healing, experience.  Leo likes the fact that what he went through helps others like him and their parents.  

In health and healing, Ashley

This review is from: High Functioning Autism: Advice From A Mom, From Diagnosis To Recovery (Kindle Edition)

If you are confused about your child's diagnosis you get anxious, you panic, you start reading obsessively and ... you get even more anxious and confused. This book can save you emotional turmoil, time and money. You have to stick to something, you have to have a plan. As I understand the author of the book did extensive research and exhausted every single opportunity to help her child... and it worked. In a very concise manner Ashley Morgan shares what she learned. The book leaves all the details to Ashley's website. Almost every chapter mentions a link. This way she accomplishes 2 things: the info in the book stays up to date and the reader concentrates on only the most important messages. Autism doctors are very expensive, so one needs to choose carefully and have some tools to evaluate doctor's qualification. Ashley gives you a gift that only a mother can give. Read it!
