Jasmine Lee O'Neill does an outstanding job of describing how it feels to be autistic and how friends, family and professionals can be sensitive to their needs. This book identifies the reasons for behaviors and offers suggestions of ways in which the 'normal' world can shape itself to work around the behavioral characteristics of autistic people. I would recommend this book to the friends and family of your child, as well as any other caregivers or even older siblings. - Emergence : Labeled Autistic by Temple Grandin
A fascinating look into the autistic world by perhaps the most renowned autistic person in the world, Temple Grandin. The way Temple interprets things and the approach that her mother took--so many years ago--is amazing and inspirational. Provides genuine and valuable insight, from someone who has become a professional success. Highly recommended for all parents of autistic children. - Toilet Training for Individuals with Autism and Related Disorders by Maria Wheeler
