Letter 215: Introducing a Child on the Autism Spectrum

Have you ever been stuck in the swamp of single-parenting? That exhausting, depressing feeling where no one seems to help or understand.
All parenting is challenging, but raising a child with a unique developmental pace is an adventure full of twists and turns.
But with a little help from 44 fellow parents and experts, your day trip can be a little less daunting.
This book provides 500 practical, proven methods.
This book is structured so that you don't have to read difficult theories or lengthy explanations.
This book is all practical, short and sweet.
You can find what you want to know right now.


The book is divided into nine chapters, covering everything from everyday activities (bath time, meal times, etc.) to family outings and holidays.
This book, which can be kept close at hand and referenced at any time, will help families with children on the developmental disability and autism spectrum navigate everyday activities and unexpected events.
This book is a collection of firsthand accounts from speech therapists, occupational therapists, autism specialists, parents, and individuals on the spectrum.

Translator's Note
This book is filled with the challenges, wisdom, and know-how that only those who have experienced it can understand.
This book will provide answers to those times when families of children on the autism spectrum are at a loss as to what to do.
It will prepare you not only to deal with situations, places, and circumstances, but also to prepare you to deal with problems that may arise in the future.
