5.0 out of 5 stars Great stuff for the "practicalities" of living with autism, February 20, 2002
By "mrs_n0rseman" (Beavercreek, OR USA) - See all my reviews
This book provides great hands-on tips for dealing with autism. The case studies and examples make confusing or unusual approaches much clearer and easier to try at home or explain to others (doctors, teachers, etc.). Reading cover to cover is unnecessary, all chapters can be read independently. The authors give clear, knowledgeable solutions for dealing with such problem behaviors as escaping, biting, and "stimming", along with lots of information on using various intervention techniques. A must-have for teachers and parents!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best resource I ever purchased, February 27, 2004
By Heather Baskerville (West St Paul, MN United States) - See all my reviews
I bought this book not knowing what to expect. I just wanted something, anything to read to help my autistic child. This book is packed with stratagies, keys, cautions and important information. It has a table of contents and you can read what you need. It has a special problem area in which it speaks about eating habits, smearing poo, and various other situations that we may encounter. I use this book daily. I bring it to IEP meetings and just recently after reading about sensory integration and calling the OT and requesting information about products to help with sensory integration, she sent me a packet of information, a few products to try at home to see if they help before I go and spend money on things and a thank you note that said "thanks for all you do". I had never been thanked by a teacher. This book helped me realize that my childs autism will not go away and that there are things that can help him and that I have the power to help him. It also helped open up communication and resources from the school as well and has gotten me respect as well. I am thankful to this book and will keep it on my desk. It is the only book I keep out about autism. Because it is the most useful.
It is well worth the money!

5.0 out of 5 stars If behavior is an issue, this book is for you!, July 5, 2006
This book was so helpful in understanding behavioral issues better. As a teacher at a main stream elementary school, I encounter children with milder forms of Autism on a daily basis. I just have thought in the past that their disobedience was blatant. However, through the reading of this book, I have learned that bad behavior many times is a result of their communication and sensory issues. Something as simple as communicating to them in a way that is simple for them to understand and not speaking to them figuratively or giving many commands at once, can avoid an episode of bad behavior. If I can make sure that whatever activities we do are mapped out for the day and that "surprises" on a regular basis do not occur, then we can avoid unnecessary trauma or stress. There are so many useful tips offered that have been tried and proven. If you or someone you know, work with an individual with autism, you definitely need to read this book. It truly is an indispensable source.
