"That's Life with Autism" is full of advice and inspiration, written by parents for other parents and professionals caring for children on the autism spectrum. The overall message of this book is that people affected by autism are not alone. Each chapter addresses a specific topic, and range from the effect of autism in the family on couple or sibling relationships and intervention options to educational issues, diet, and the role of friends and relatives. Points for reflection prompt the reader to discuss and think further about the issues covered. The contributors also provide starting points for the development of positive strategies, including networks of support in which parents can learn from and find support from others in similar situations. The practical and positive book will be of interest to parents of autistic children and to anyone working with children on the autism spectrum, from professionals to school administrators.

A must read!,
This review is from: That's Life With Autism: Tales And Tips for Families With Autism (Paperback)
I am a teacher and summer residential camp director who has the pleasure of working with children, adults and their families on the autism spectrum. This book was a great read and provided me with much insight that I have already shared with my coworkers at school and plan to share with my staff at camp this summer. It provides a real down to earth outlook. Thank you!

This review is from: That's Life With Autism: Tales And Tips for Families With Autism (Paperback)
After my daughter was diagnosed with Autism. I searched everywhere for stories about other families and how they were coping and living. This book has packaged it all up and sorted it into catagories. Very clever.
Easy to read and I especially like these features: 1. Real stories from real families 2. Tips from the parents at the end of their story 3. Ages of children are included in the story intro 4. Well-organized catagories to easily find a story to read about This is a great book and would even make an excellent gift to a parent of a child with autism. Excellent book!
5.0 out of 5 stars
