Description

Amid a bewildering range of treatments that promise to alleviate or even cure autism, even the leading researchers can’t predict what will work for your child. As a parent, you are in a unique position to become the practical expert on your child’s needs and strengths. Parenting Your Child with Autism will equip you with family-tested and science-based approaches for meeting the challenges ahead. You’ll learn how to: • Get a diagnosis and navigate the health care and educational systems • Make sense of your child’s treatment options • Tap into expert opinions and your own observations to find a treatment program that works • Become your child’s best advocate and build a better family life “Finally, a book for parents of children newly diagnosed with autism that’s accurate and practical without being intimidating or alarmist.” —Alison Singer, president of the Autism Science Foundation “This wonderful book will bring comfort and practical help to many families as they search for creative ways to relieve their children’s distress, develop new skills, and find areas of joy.” —Joseph Gold, MD, chief medical officer at McLean Hospital
