Thankful for this book

I'm soaking up the practical advice in this book. I have a 13 year old on the spectrum and the suggestions in this book are immensely helpful. If you care for a young adult on the spectrum (or even a few years from adolescence), you need this book.

This is an amazing book with real helpful suggestions for both parents and professionals. It is insightful, powerful and much needed in the community. I highly recommend this book to parents, professionals and teachers.
