Brian puts verbs in his sentences, December 15, 2011
This review is from: Strategies for Building Successful Relationships with People on the Autism Spectrum: Let's Relate! (Paperback)
I have read other books with people giving their perspective of living with autism personally or having a child with autism. There are also some great books out there from experts giving advice. This book is the best of both worlds. It describes the world as one with autism might see it or allows one to open their mind to a different experience but also gives practical, useable advice and strategies that one can use to bring the two worlds together. I highly recommend this book, especially to anyone with has gotten frustrated when given nothing but an autism diagnosis and symptoms.

Every person that cares for or works with a child on the spectrum should read this book!, November 17, 2011
This review is from: Strategies for Building Successful Relationships with People on the Autism Spectrum: Let's Relate! (Paperback)
I am beyond thrilled to have had the opportunity to read this book and learn from Brian King. Every person that cares for or works with individuals on the spectrum would benefit a GREAT deal from this book. Drawing from his own experience on the spectrum, the author offers a perspective that is a RARE find. The understanding that is obtained from seeing the world from that of a child on the spectrum is so profound. The author also provides very tangible solutions to both parenting conflicts and school misconceptions. I will, without a doubt, refer to this book often as I move forward in my clinical practice with children and families. I highly recommend this book without reserve!

This is THE Autism Parenting book to have!!!!, December 15, 2011
This review is from: Strategies for Building Successful Relationships with People on the Autism Spectrum: Let's Relate! (Paperback)
Brian King is amazing. Hands down - everything I read from him, every seminar I watch of his blows me away. From his life story, to his unique perspective into the minds of children with autism, this book is priceless for not only parents of kids on the spectrum but for ALL PARENTS!!! Like I said, I have seen Brian King speak at conferences and have sent friends to his website who are having behavioral issues with their "typical" children to see the strategies he uses in parenting. They are for anyone who wants a peaceful, respectful and understanding relationship with their children (yes - they work, even with those on the spectrum!!) Every parent should be required to read Brian's books. He parents, and gives advice on parenting in the most effective manner I have ever heard, seen or read. This man has a gift. You will not be disappointed in this book (and I cannot believe how inexpensive it is)!
There is no where else to get this kind of insight into why your child on the spectrum is stimming, crashing, crying, has certain sensory issues, doesn't make eye contact, etc. I can't tell you how many times reading this book I said "Oh..so that is why (my son) does that. That makes total sense now." Brian King has lived his life on the spectrum - he has been through it all - and now we get to benefit from all of that insiders knowledge of the spectrum world.
He also gives great advice on how to handle the public school system with your child. What accommodations are a must and which need to be avoided at all costs. Again you are going to read these and say "He is so right, why did I not realize this or that does not work for a kid on the spectrum?!"
My husband thinks Brian King is amazing too, and he just asked me if I was finally done with this book so he could read it now.
