Many tens of thousands of parents have found the facts they need about high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (ASD), including Asperger's syndrome, in this indispensable guide. Leading experts show how you can work with your child's unique impairments - and harness his or her capabilities.

Vivid stories and real-world examples illustrate ways to help kids with ASD relate more comfortably to peers, learn the rules of appropriate behavior, and succeed in school. You'll learn how ASD is diagnosed and what treatments and educational supports really work. Updated with the latest research and resources, the second edition clearly explains the implications of the DSM-five diagnostic changes.

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.

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.

There was quite a bit of new and helpful information. The audio could have been mixed a little better.

Great for introduction into the ASD world

As the mother of a child who was recently diagnosed with ASD, I felt lost and alone and didn’t know where to turn. I joined an autism support group on Facebook and came to Audible and downloaded a bunch of books. This one is, by far, my favorite. It answered all my questions and provided great tips for me to use in my daily life as well as in the future. I recommend this book for all parents who are struggling to understand how to best help their child with ASD. Good luck to you all! <3

Appropriate

This is an informative book. I don’t know if it’s applicable to all ASD cases.
