Through sensitive,
sometimes humorous, experienced-based writing from teachers, clinicians,
and parent activists in the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) community,
this book will help educators and others to better understand the world
inhabited by ASD children. The stories contained in the book will inspire
and inform readers who are working day-to-day with children in the autism
spectrum, providing valuable insights into what makes these kids tick
and useful information on how they communicate, learn, and succeed.
"The voices
here confirm what I've always suspected: everyone is part of one large
continuum, and the approaches and insights recounted here can help any
parent, any educator, any person deal with any childor, for that
matter, any other personmore effectively and with more compassion.
I only wish I'd encountered earlier this cadre of experienced and caring
individuals whose humor and resourcefulness represent clearly how best
to love and nurture a child."Cynthia Nitz Ris, J.D., Ph.D.,
