Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sad truth is that autism is not a simple condition to handle, both for your child and for you as their parent. It presents many challenges each and every day, from communication and bonding to aggression, frustration, and much more. Being the parent of a child with autism is not an easy task, and it requires far more effort from you than being a parent of neurotypical children. However, no matter how many challenges and frustrations your child may present, you still love them more than anything and want the best for them at all times. Raising a child with ASD does not have to be difficult, and if you are willing to put the effort in, it can be a beautiful experience. Children and adults with ASD have a lot to teach us, both about themselves and about ourselves. Be willing to learn from your child just as much as you are willing to help and teach them. There is something extra-special about each and every child on the spectrum, and giving them all of the special attention and care that they need will be the secret to unlocking their potential. Secrets to Communicating With Your Child With Autism will provide you with exactly what it says on the cover. This book will help you unlock clear and meaningful communication with your child with autism so that the two of you can better navigate your unique lives and experiences. Communication is one of the skills that many children on the spectrum struggle to learn at a young age, so you should not feel as if your child is a rare case. Throughout this book, we will take you through the steps to helping your child develop the communication skills they need to make their interactions with you, their siblings, and their peers more meaningful and enjoyable for all parties. You will learn about what Autism Spectrum Disorder is, how it is diagnosed, and how to help your child communicate. We will also provide you with some tips for helping your child with autism navigate their school career and how you can help them make their way through adolescence. We will provide you with back-to-school tips and fun activities that you and your child will enjoy. We will also discuss the importance of autism advocates for your child's school career and whether you should hire one or act as your child's own advocate. If there's one thing that we hope you learn from this book, it is that you are not alone. There are millions of parents of children with autism out there, all who share your experiences, frustrations, and joys.

Download or read book Underestimated written by J. B. Handley and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-03-23 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The incredibly moving and inspiring story about a quest to finally be heard. In Underestimated: An Autism Miracle, Generation Rescue’s cofounder J.B. Handley and his teenage son Jamison tell the remarkable story of Jamison’s journey to find a method of communication that allowed him to show the world that he was a brilliant, wise, generous, and complex individual who had been misunderstood and underestimated by everyone in his life. Jamison’s emergence at the age of seventeen from his self-described “prison of silence” took place over a profoundly emotional and dramatic twelve-month period that is retold from his father’s perspective. The book reads like a spy thriller while allowing the reader to share in the complex emotions of both exhilaration and anguish that accompany Jamison’s journey for him and his family. Once Jamison’s extraordinary story has been told, Jamison takes over the narrative to share the story from his perspective, allowing the world to hear from someone who many had dismissed and cast aside as incapable. Jamison’s remarkable transformation challenges the conventional wisdom surrounding autism, a disability impacting 1 in 36 Americans. Many scientists still consider nonspeakers with autism—a full 40 percent of those on the autism spectrum—to be “mentally retarded.” Is it possible that the experts are wrong about several million people? Are all the nonspeakers like Jamison? Underestimated: An Autism Miracle will touch your heart, inspire you, remind you of the power of love, and ultimately leave you asking tough questions about how many more Jamisons might be waiting for their chance to be freed from their prison of silence, too. And, for the millions of parents of children with autism, the book offers a detailed description of a communication method that may give millions of people with autism back their voice.

Download or read book Turn Autism Around written by Mary Lynch Barbera, Ph.D. and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2022-03-29 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Help remediate—and in some cases eliminate—autism and other developmental delays in young children, even in as little as 15 minutes a day with this toolkit of behavioral practices that can be taught at home. Developmental delays and signs of autism usually show up before 18 months of age, yet children are often not diagnosed until they are 4 or 5 years old. In Turn Autism Around, Dr. Mary Barbera explains why parents can't afford to worry and wait in long lines for evaluations and treatment while not knowing how to help their children. She empowers parents, caregivers, and early intervention professionals to regain hope and take back control with simple strategies to dramatically improve outcomes for their children. Dr. Barbera has created a new approach to teaching kids with developmental delays that uses the science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) married with a positive, child-friendly methodology that any parent can use—whether or not their child has delays—to learn to teach communication skills, socialization strategies, as well as tackle sleep, eating, potty training, and behavior challenges in a positive, effective, and lasting way. Turn Autism Around is the first book of its kind that calls attention to an important fact: parents can make a tremendous impact on their child's development through behavioral practices taught at home, even in as little as 15 minutes a day. Her program shows these autism and developmental delays can be remediated, and in some cases, delays can be caught up altogether, if parents intervene while the child is young. This book is for parents of young children aged one-to-five years who are passionate about helping their child as well as learning how they can change the trajectory of their child's and family's life.
