"Autism
has hit close to home with my brother and business
partner having autistic sons. I think all families
who are affected by autism will benefit from reading
The Official Autism 101 Manual. It's a truly remarkable
book." |

The One Minute Millionaire with Mark Victor Hansen |
|
"Karen
Simmons’ expertise in embracing life and reframing
autism shows us all how to lead a positive, fulfilling,
and productive life while supporting loved ones with
special needs." |
Stephen
Shore, ABd
Bestselling author of Beyond the Wall: Personal
Experiences with Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome |

"The
Official Autism 101 Manual is an important and dynamic
resource. Topics range from diagnosis to family support
and from traditional to non-traditional therapies.
Some topics, such as building self-esteem of persons
with ASD and understanding areas of strength, have
too rarely been addressed in a field that has been
preoccupied with a‘deficit-checklist’ model
for so many years. This manual is an invaluable resource for parents and
professionals alike." |
