Working with Special needs children can come with quite an array of challenges. Jim has taken the journey of teaching them, and brought out the humour and lessons learned daily. Even when aggression and untimely behavior are issues, he has a way of putting one's self at ease and is able to cope with these matters in creative ways.

Once I picked this book up, I couldn't put it down. I loved the way Jim shares the joys and struggles of working with kids with Autism in such a unique way. As he tells real-life stories, sometimes humorous and sometimes not so much, one can see the absolute love he has for this unique group of individuals. I highly recommend this book even if you are not a special education teacher. It makes for good reading for anyone. "Laughing and Loving With Autism" by Wayne Gilpin, also offers light-hearted reading for a sometimes very challenging syndrome, and through his stories, gives a much needed understanding.

Excellent book--a book you can laugh out loud at. True stories about the special education classroom that educate readers on how to handle situations that can happen every day. It shows that teaching special education is never dull and keeps you on your toes. It also shows an educator who is ready to give whatever it takes to make the most out of education for every one of his students.
