It just didnt answer the bio medical questions I had to help my son. Still learning and reading, but this book wasn’t “complete” for me!

This is a very good book and will give you tons of useful information. What is autism? perhaps it’s like a mysterious dance – in & out of reach – always changing for those who can be present. I choose ‘TO BE PRESENT’! Questo e’ un libro molto buono che vi dara’ una miriade di unformazioni utili. Che cos’e’ l’autismo? forse e’ come una danza piena di mistero – vicina e irrangiugibile – che cambia sempre per quelli che sono presenti. Io scelgo di ‘ESSERE PRESENTE’!
If you know someone with autism – love him/her and continue to embrace him/her with grace into your life. Se conosci qualcuno che ha l’autismo – amalo/a e continua ad abbracciarlo/a con grazia nella tua vita.

This book was not especially helpful in our case as it caters especially to autism and if you have a child with another special needs diagnosis it will not be very helpful to you.

I suppose this is a good book for parents of children with autism. My child has a speech delay and I was wondering if there was a possibility he could have autism. The only thing this book did was pretty much confirm that my son does not have the disorder. The only reason I am giving it 2 stars is because the content doesn’t apply to me. I was sort of hoping for more symptoms/stories about children diagnosed with ASD and less information on how to get help, etc…Otherwise, I suppose it deserves more stars if it was more applicable to me. Also, I’ve done so much research on my own about the subject, that the first half of the book was information I was already familiar with, so that was disappointing. In fact, I had to skip through much of it because it was redundant, but if you don’t much about the disorder, then this book is a good resource.

The information in this book is very useful for parents and those involved with the autism spectrum disorders.
