More About the Author

Lisa Jo Rudy had been a professional education writer for more than twelve years when her son, Tom, was diagnosed with a form of autism. Right away, she began researching and writing about the topic. In 2006, she became the About.com Guide to Autism (www.autism.about.com) - a medically-reviewed New York Times Company website containing thousands of articles, blogs and reader-generated articles. At the same time, Lisa also became involved with building awareness of and opportunities for kids and families living with autism. Working with a local YMCA, she developed an inclusive summer camp program; working with museum professionals she wrote and presented papers for informal education professionals on "Welcoming Kids Who Learn Differently."

Lisa's new book, "Get Out, Explore and Have Fun: How Families of Children With Autism or Asperger Syndrome Can Get the Most Out of Community Activities," offers parents of children on the autism spectrum a rich and varied menu of suggestions for how families can take full part in community life and support the strengths and interests of their child at the same time. Inside are not only resources and insights but also tools to share with community leaders interested in including children with autism in everything from sports to theater to Sunday school.

Lisa Jo Rudy writes for museums, publishers, universities and educational organizations including National Geographic, Space Telescope and the National Science Foundation. Her credits include over a dozen books and hundreds of articles, blogs, curricula and publications for children and adults on topics ranging from autism to zoology.

I bought this for my eight-year-old grandson, who loved it. He is always telling me facts about snakes that he has learned from the book. A good buy!
