Dealing with an Autistic child

A very written book that is a wealth of knowledge on helping parents deal with Autistic children and their different needs that will help them along the way as they grow into adulthood. Things such as constructive guidance in accomplishing simple tasks and the small victories of completing those tasks with patience, love, and understanding. And then building up to the more advanced tasks of making decisions of their own and learning how to express themselves in a positive manner while learning how to cope with their own emotions. Having worked with an Autistic child of a single mom, who was a friend of my son while growing up, I learned first-hand that with proper guidance and teaching, they can accomplish many positive things and it makes them feel better about themselves and gives them a sense of pride of accomplishment.
