If your son reads some of these early books, he should understand that autism diagnoses and treatments have evolved drastically over the past 30 years. He should look into Bernard Rimland’s early work in CA. Autism is a huge spectrum disorder; much has been discovered, but there is still SO much to learn. Many books by parents are anecdotal in nature. What works for one may not work for others.

An autism bumper sticker: If you’ve seen one child with autism, you’ve seen one child with autism. The variations between kids are extreme.

I have a 23 yr old son with autism.
