While this is a very helpful book, a) the print is a little small for easy reading, and b) it was not 100% what I was expecting. That is more my fault than the book's, however. I did not research all of the references to it thoroughly enough to understand that it is more clinical than a parent sort of book.
Anyone who has a child, or know of something with Autism NEED THIS BOOK! Very, Very, a Must Read. Bought this book for my Grand-Daughter, who has a two-year old son with Autism. This book is Making its rounds to everyone in our family - it started with me, then my daughter and now my Grand-Daughter.
Out dated but still hold up with the times.
I have been part of the world of autism for 5 1/2 years now. My child is 8. This book was of most interest to me the first two years of his diagnosis, but I still pick it up now and then.When I first received my son' diagnosis, I looked on the Internet and read many horrifying statistics such as, 40% of autistics end up insitutionalized by high school, and 75% of autistics had mental retardation. Nowadays if you do a google search, you would be hard-pressed to find those statistics anywhere. So things have changed DRAMATICALLY since then, and a more recently written book might be more relevant and generally more positive in outlook.This book is NOT a pep-talk. It can be alarming to read some of her statements about autistic children. For example, here is a statement similar to others made in the book: "Because autism constitutes an additional barrier to functioning, autistic people seldom hold jobs at the level that could simply be predicted by their level of intelligence."Depending on my state of mind, this COULD be depressing. But it can also be motivating - I could tell myself, "This is statistical data, it tells me nothing about my own son and his future abilities. It is an interesting fact and something I will keep in mind and try to address as I continue working to help my son fulfill his potential."However, I STILL think this book is worth checking out of the library. The book does a good job of describing autism - particularly the social and communication challenges autistic children face. The other useful thing about her book is that it is a fairly detailed SURVEY of autism, from childhood to adulthood. If your child has autism, you will most likely see aspects of your child in the pages. Sometimes she draws your attention to something you might not have realized was an autistic tendency.For example, her comments on "playlalia" were a wake up call to me that I needed to help my son stretch and elaborate on his play activities. His play looked relatively normal when observed casually - but a closer look revealed characteristics of "playlalia", as she calls it.I've also found the parts describing the loss, anger, and grief of parents, and the impact of autism on siblings, to be useful to our family as well.The treatment resources section was of less interest to me. Siegel holds Lovaas and ABA in high regard and she emphasizes teaching communication skills and behavior management. She briefly mentions "alternative" therapies, such as holding therapy, AIT, diet, and facilitated communication. RDI is too new to be mentioned in this book.In conclusion, useful survey information about autism and its characteristics. The outdated information on outcomes for autistic children, and Siegel's detatched, somewhat pessimistic tone might be too depressing for some parents.
Caveat Emptor! Buyers beware. This book set expectations of hoping to find relevant or recognizable autism experiences and behaviors. I also didn't like the way the author relied on diagnoses and leaned on them like a weakened, tottery old crutch. For example, Dr. Grandin, a famous person with autism and someone who clearly lives with a rather severe form of autism is pigeonholed into the "PDD" (Pervasive Developmental Disorder) box. All of Dr. Grandin's claims about the Autistic Experience appear to be denied. I didn't like that.In reading this, one cannot help thinking that the author had a framework for which her view of autism fit and any and all other information and experience would be denied. My take on it is, if the neurotypical (NT) population wants to know more about autism, then ask somebody with autism! For Pete's sake! Not everybody on the spectrum thinks in pictures, for example. That kind of stereotypical thinking drives me up a tree.Another reviewer on the U.S. boards rightfully says that this book would have better served the NT and autisstic worlds by not pretending to have insight into a world which the author is not a part of nor claim to have insights that are sorely lacking. Saying this book provides insight to the autistic mind is like saying you are a gourmet chef because you watched one cooking show or are a world traveler because you visited one city in one foreign country. Autism is as varied as there are individuals who have it and fewer things annoy me as much as the a) negative stereotypes, such as the tired "Rain Man" cliche and b) NT people claiming they have answers to autism when they are merely spectators and speculators.Describing behavior is one thing. Knowing the underlying causes and understanding the responses people with autism make in given cases is an entirely different matter. I'll say it again - if you want to know about autism, then talk to somebody who is autistic!There are many books that are vastly superior to this one. If you want a good overview of autism/Asperger's, start with Tony Attwood's books. He is truly a leading authority and expert on autism/Asperger's.
