Summary: Disgusting curebie claptrap!
Comment: Typical curebie propaganda, and a deliberate, hurtful attempt to parody an article an actual autistic adult wrote entitled Ten Things An Autistic Adult Wishes You Knew. Point number one of Ten Things An Autistic Adult Wishes You Knew was that we are not "people with autism", but that our autism is an intrinsic part of who were are. Quite a polar opposite to what this author thinks tomorrow's autistic adults want you to know.
ObviouslyNotAutistic, as she should be called, is simply taking curebie words, shoving them into childrens' mouths, and asking you, the public, to cough up money for it. If the "knowledge and understanding that is increasing even as you read this" statement on her page was true, then books like this would be being cancelled by publishers, and banned as hate literature by countries with true social consciousness.
If you think I am exaggerating, bear these two points in mind. One, I am an autistic adult who is a poster child for what abusing an autistic child or teenager can do years down the track. You can see me describing the horrible conditions I had to grow up in anytime on YouTube, just search for an autistic adult speaking for himself (something curebies like this want to silence). Two, these curebie cowards cannot get the time of day in places like Australia, which happens to be where the foremost expert in autism in the world is based.
Ten years from now, the children ObviouslyNotAutistic is drowning out will rise up and speak for themselves. And what they have to say to her will not be pretty.

Summary: A Must read for those dealing with autism!
Comment: This book reads easy and fast and it should be handed out to every parent whose child is diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum. It can change the perceptions of anyone--family, friend, educator or counselor--who is face with the baffling behavior of an autistic child. I cannot impress just how much this slim volume can help.
The core beliefs in 10 Things Every Child With Autism Wishes You Knew are:
-All behaviors happen for a reason.
And
-All behavior is communication.
The focus is on presenting (not really exploring or solving problems) the possible causes of "bad" behavior and realigning the thought patterns neurotypical people have when dealing with those on the spectrum. It can also help parents get behind the possible causes of misbehavior on the part of "normal" children.
Some principals in this book are--or should be--universal. Don't let one term (Autism, ADHD, or even "trouble child") define all your child is. Focus on what your child can do instead of getting lost in what he or she can't do. All behavior has a cause, ferreting out the cause can go very far in helping to resolve negative behavior. And most importantly of all, love should not be dependent on good grades, good behavior or "being normal". Love should be unconditional.
If there was ever an Idiot's Guide to Raising a Child this might be it. An essential book for understanding the social, language and sensory challenges experienced by many types of special needs children. This book should be mandatory reading for anyone whose life is touched by Autism Spectrum Disorders.

Summary: Great way to learn how to understand Autism
Comment: I really enjoy learning more about autism. It help me understand what my child is going through. Finally out of darkness into the marvelous light. I highly recommend this book for families that are experiencing autism.
Buy as soon as possible.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A must for everybody
Comment: Anyone who comes in contact with a person on the autism spectrum should read this book. It is a quick and easy read with the ten characteristics clearly stated and easily understood. The suggestions are concise and to the point. Every teacher should have this as a resource and it should be a mandatory read. Having taught children with autism has been a privilege and reading a parent's perspective has reminded me of that once again.

Framed with both humor and compassion, the book defines the top ten characteristics that illuminate the minds and hearts of children with autism. Ellen's personal experiences as a parent, an autism columnist, and a contributor to numerous parenting magazines coalesce to create a guide for all who come in contact with a child on the autism spectrum.
