This book is insightful, helpful, and hopeful—just like the woman who wrote it! It is a ‘how-to’ guide that I am confident will leave any reader feeling both informed and inspired. — Emily Gerson Saines, Executive Producer of the HBO movie, Temple Grandin

Every school, large or small, with the responsibility of educating children with autism or Asperger’s needs the guidance this book offers. . . . every parent will find within these pages golden nuggets of advice, encouragement, and hope to fuel their day-to-day journey through their child’s autism. . . . The wisdom she offers through this book and its personal reflections on autism will, I’m sure, ring true for many more decades to come. — Ruth Christ Sullivan, first elected president of the Autism Society of America

Praise for the series:

"A valuable tool for both parents and educators centered on Grandin's personal experiences and her many years in the fields of autism and behavior science. This is essential for parents with an autistic child. — Library Journal, * Starred Review * for Autism and Education

"Grandin...delivers an insightful and pragmatic guide to helping autistic children thrive...she pinpoints guiding principles (high expectations yield results) and brass-tacks recommendations (strategies for teaching turn-taking or mastering basic life skills) combine to create a program that’s thoughtful and comprehensive, but not overwhelming. For educators or parents of autistic children, this will be a valuable resource." — Publishers Weekly
