This book has
answers to more than one hundred
of the most frequently asked
questions about autism, a
disease that affects an
estimated one in 250 children.
Dawn Ham-Kucharski's son, Alex,
was diagnosed with autism at the
age of two, and she was given
little hope that he would ever
express himself verbally or to
communicate meaningfully with
others. But, now at the
age of six, Alex is an inspiring
autism success story, due to his
mother's tireless efforts to
seek out an effective treatment
program, educational plan, and
socialization strategy.
In
The Autism Book,
health and parenting journalist
S. Jhoanna Robledo and Ham-Kucharski,
a passionate advocate for
educational opportunity for
autistic children, use their
hard-earned knowledge and
experience to objectively and
compassionately answer the most
urgent questions of parents and
educators of autistic children.
The authors offer comprehensive
information on diagnoses,
causes, manifestations,
treatment options, managing
emotions, family relationships,
parenting and lifestyle issues,
education, and common worries.
