Description
A wonderful reference for parents in need of guidance, motivation and encouragement as they raise their child diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Parents can share in the experiences of other families who live with the disorder, and observe how they cope with the challenges they face on a daily basis. This book is an inspiring work that approaches autism in an admirable and down-to-earth fashion. A great way to better understand the complex and mysterious world of autism.
