Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A great overall book
A great overall book. It covers pretty much everything you need to know on the subject. I enjoyed it.
Rating: - User-friendly...
and easy-to-understand. The author offers her professional and personal perspective on the subject. For another mother's perspective, I recommend He's Not Autistic But...: How We Pulled Our Son From the Mouth of the Abyss.
Rating:  - great expectations--very disappointed
I had great expectations for this book and was very disappointed.

Rating: - The best I've read yet
Wow, this is the best I have read yet on autism,it actually covers other disorders on the spectrum and after reading it at the library first,I went to buy my own, as i wanted to have it always with me.This includes grief for me! now that is a good thing,(also for carers),then the list goes on, to much to list here,definately a guide for us,in understanding these disorders,i found this material also good for understanding ASD adults. A must read for sure.
Rating: - Just diagnosed? Read this book!
When we first learned our twins were both on the Autism Spectrum, I needed more information and direction to immediate resources. This book has both and so much more from a PARENT's prespective. I found it helpful, empowering, and realistic for moms like me reeling from the initial shock. I'm so glad I bought it, read it and have it on my shelf as a reference guide!
