What You Can Do Right Now to Help Your Child with Autism

"""All children with autism have ways of dropping into their own world, leaving us behind for a minute, an hour, a day."" This is the essence of autism: a disorder that is, at its heart, about interaction. Many of the symptoms associated with autism come from either a lack of paying attention to other people or a lack of interest in joining in with the rest of the world. Because this is the case, it is important that when you work with your child, you are addressing the core issue of autism: your child, for one reason or another, is not spending enough time in our interactive world. What You Can Do Right Now to Help Your Child with Autism gives you the best techniques you can do – right now – to work with your child and draw him or her back into our interactive world.

Calvin: (An Autism Story)

"We all know someone who struggles with Autism, this is a story written by my son, it's his drawings and how he sees the world and its people. It's a touching glimpse into his thought process. It was years before our son spoke. I like to think he speaks only when he knows he has something to say, really he is one of the kindest people I know. Autism is different but it doesn't have to keep the people we love from experiencing life on their own terms. I am thrilled he has taken the time to share his perspective with you, if you have a child on the spectrum you will understand and if you don't, maybe now you will. All proceeds from these books will go to his care and education."

Totally Lost: A Brutally Honest Assessment of Raising a Child on the Autism Spectrum

This is a book written as it was being lived. This is not a medical journal written as a result of research nor is it a memoire written years or decades in retrospect. These are our experiences with autism spectrum disorder and the trials and tribulations our family has been through, almost in real time. The reader is taken into our emotions: the happiness, sadness, terror, and endless love that our family has experienced since diagnosis. You will meet our son, diagnosed just after his fifth birthday, and the many others that have helped us along this journey. Including, a very special friend that has become a member of our family and completely inseparable. The reader is taken into our home and experiences some of the same coping mechanisms and techniques that we have utilized to make this condition livable and life a little easier. I give my unsolicited advice as to how to make it through some of the most challenging times of this condition. This book is a reference for families livi

Let Me Hear Your Voice: Family's Triumph Over Autism

This is the profound moving story, told by their mother, of how two children were rescued from the tragedy of autism - and the first account in which diagnosis, therapy and authentic recovery are fully documented. From the opening page, when we are present at the first birthday party of Ann-Marie Maurice, readers of this extraordinary book enter deeply into the life of the Maurice family.

We follow their frantic search for anyone who might offer hope, we follow their prayers and finally their providential discovery of intensive behavioural therapy - a treatment that has been documented to lead to dramatic improvement, and in some cases full recovery from autism.
