unique relationship

I read it twice and because I just received the ASD and I thought I was ready. we are 12 and she wants answers because she sees her own changes and they don't look like her friends. this has given us steps and strategies to work with going forward. thank you for sharing this for the lost parents and children.

Very informative for someone with a child with a new diagnosis!

Tons of questions answered and I would highly recommend to anyone with a child on the spectrum. The sharp "S"s from the performer were painful to hear but the info was worth it.

Practical and thorough.

It addresses how to deal with most challenges and how to take advantage of existing resources. The book also highlights the importance of emphasizing strengths to deal with difficulties.

Love it love it love live it!

Love it love it love live it! Best educational piece yet read to understand ASD and my son. Thanks for opening my understanding. Recommend and used tools in my IEP meeting; and recommend to school Board of Education. Son got all needed to be successful at school.
