Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Despite new research and increased public awareness, autism is still looked at in a negative light. Most books on the subject perpetuate this notion by saying that autism is bad or needs to be overcome, rather than highlighting the positive--for instance, many people with autism graduate from college, attain exciting careers, and lead happy, fulfilling lives. Making Autism a Gift emphasizes these positive realities and tears down the wall of isolation associated with this disorder. With information from hundreds of up-to-date sources, this practical book looks at the effects of autism on the individual and provides strategies parents can use to help their autistic children at home and beyond.

I would say this is my favorite book on Autism. It's written in such a positive manner! It's a book that really helps you come to grips with everything that goes along with Autism. It covers everything from diagnosis, medical, children-teens, adults, wills & trusts. It's great for anyone new to Autism. I love it!

As a teacher of students with autism, I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning more and family and friends of someone with autism. Dr. Cimera writes in a conversational tone that is friendly and while informative, not overly technical. The book does not focus on the negative, but accentuates the positive.

I'm a college student getting my degree in elementary education. In addition I have a four year-old son who is high-functioning autistic. I decided to write my term paper for one of my classes on autism and came across this book in the library. What a refreshing book to read after the mounds and mounds of books I had to go through that put such a negative spin on autism. This book gave wonderful insight and information on all aspects of autism in a relaxed and realistic way. It was almost as if I was sitting down with the author talking about autism over coffee. The book isn't written as methodically as many of the other books I have read on this subject, yet still gave very good information.
With the almost pandemic rate of children being diagnosed with autism, parents need books like these to say 'hey, so your child has autism, that isn't necessarily a bad thing'. This book doesn't dwell too much in the past scrutinizing over WHY your child has autism, it looks at the NOW and the FUTURE and says what can we do to turn this into something positive. What can we do for the child NOW.
