OK, It's Hard. This Award Winning Book Makes it Easier

I cannot get over the fact that one woman took it upon herself to gather together in this small, yet totally thorough guide, all the treatments concerning autism available to us here in the United States. This is a remarkable feat. This Guide is an invaluable asset and you are behooved to own it, if you have an autistic child or adult in your life. It should be in the library of every single person who has any sort of connection to autism, be it professional, or familial. It will show you all the options we can turn to in the most easily understandable manner. It is not a judgemental tract. That is not the intention. It is a source of information and explanations. So do not expect the author to tell you what to do with your child or relative with autism. DO expect the author to present you with the vast array of treatments available in a concise, clear manner. I know, as a mother of two autistic children, that out there, this determined woman did all the legwork for all of us, did it well, just upated it for a third time, and I am grateful. You can throw this in your pocketbook for school meetings, you can read it when your child has first been diagnosed and you know nothing, or you can use it to look up any sort of therapy you might have heard a bit about from someone in passing. It's all in here. AMAZING, EXTRAORDINARY BOOK. A MUST HAVE!!! Thank you, Elizabeth Gerlach.

This is an invaluable book concerning autism treatments

Where do you start when you need help gathering information on the many autism treatments available? Right here, with this guide. No treatment is overlooked, and everything is laid out in an easily understood, non-judgemental way. I have referred to this book many times. It has always been extremely helpful and easy to understand. An invaluable guide!

An excellent resource book for parents and professionals

This is a wonderful book. It's an objective guide to the treatments now available for autism, and it's written in understandable language. It provides a beginning place for recently diagnosed families and is a great resource for teachers and others involved with working with people with autism. This little book has become a classic because it's so very helpful.

Excellent resource

This is one of three or four books I would recommend to parents just getting acquainted with autism. So many potential "treatments" are available - it's hard to figure out what might work for your own child. This book can help.
