Contributed - because I thought the book would be helpful March 19, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Yes, I am a contributor to this book. My brother, Michael, has autism. My chapter covers the success we had with auditory retraining.
The whole book, because it contains the lessons learned by the families of autistic folks, offers helpful insights and the "you are not alone" element that is so helpful when dealing with something as perplexing and frustrating as autism.
I was happy to contribute and even happier to see the end result. I think this will end up being one of the most useful books on the subject. It's a solid tribute to a wonderful fighter in the battle against autism, the late Bernie Rimland, founder of the Autism Research Institute.

Rare glimpse into world of autism March 1, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
One of the few books on autism that features true-life stories which tell it like it is.
Honest. Heartwarming. Helpful. A must for anyone who works, treats, knows or lives with a person with autism. Includes a "shocking" expose' of the corrupt system serving our disabled. More importantly, tells parents how to fight back.
