Story
Autism therapy typically focuses on ridding individuals of “autistic” symptoms such as difficulties interacting socially, problems in communicating, sensory challenges, and repetitive behavior patterns. Now Dr. Barry M. Prizant offers a new and compelling paradigm: The most successful approaches to autism don’t aim at fixing a person by eliminating symptoms, but rather seeking to understand the individual’s experience and what underlies the behavior. Rather than curb these behaviors, it’s better to enhance abilities, build on strengths, and offer supports.

Very educating for parents!
This audiobook provided me with some great information. As a mom of 3, the techniques, and detailed information provided me with essential tools to help with my parenting skills, expectations and routines which I plan to implement immediately to reap the benefits.
