| Author: Jenny McCarthy |
| One morning, Jenny McCarthy was having a cup of coffee when she sensed something was wrong. She ran into her two-year-old son Evan's room and found him seizing. In that moment, Jenny went from being the mother of an average toddler to being in the midst of a medical odyssey. Doctor after doctor misdiagnosed Evan until--after many harrowing, life-threatening episodes later--one amazing doctor discovered that Evan is autistic. Though Evan finally had a diagnosis, Jenny didn't know what to do next and she soon found herself alone without any resources except for her determination to help her son. Jenny eventually realized that she'd have to become a detective. She spoke with many doctors, parents, governmental agencies, private foundations, and essentially earned a Phd in "Google Research." At last, she discovered an intense combination of behavioral therapy, diet, and supplements that became the key to saving Evan from autism. And, now in this book, she creates a roadmap for parents who are concerned about their own child. Jenny does more than just reveal the winning formula that worked for Evan. Her story shares the frustrations and joys of raising an autistic child and shows how with love and determination a parent can shape their child's life and happiness. |

| Author: Pat Wyman, M.A. |
| Readers will learn why written tests cater to one kind of learner - the one who is visual, neat and organized and thinks in pictures. You will discover that the vast majority of children, who learn by other methods - primarily by listening or hands-on, have a hard time showing what they know on written tests because their learning style does not match the school's written testing style. This is much like giving a baseball player a written test to see if he or she can make the team. Or it’s like asking a basketball player to shoot hoops and win the game, but using a baseball field to do it. This mis-match is typically why more than 70% of kids get the lowest grades. Learning vs. Testing not only breaks new ground by identifying the learning - testing mis-match, but provides easy to follow solutions for every student to improve their grades and test scores. |

| Author: Mike Stanton |
| When his son, Matthew, was finally diagnosed with autism at 12 years old, Mike Stanton thought the diagnosis marked the end of their troubles. In fact, despite the increase in reported levels of autism, appropriate support and clear information were hard to find. Mike had to teach himself and then attempt to pass on his knowledge and understanding to those who worked with his son. But because Matthew has high functioning autism his obvious abilities helped to disguise his more fundamental autistic spectrum disorder. As a consequence, Mike found that his efforts were not always appreciated. Like many parents, who ought to be a valuable source of information and help to busy professionals, he was sometimes made to feel as though it was him and not his son's autism that was the problem. So he wrote this accessible, informative book which provides a clear explanation of the autistic spectrum and dissects and dispels some of the myths about autistic behaviour and the various types of autism. Intended for the professionals who work with autistic people and their families and friends, Learning to Live with High Functioning Autism draws on the Stanton family's experiences, and compares it with the experiences of others, to offer an honest portrayal of what living with autism is actually like for all of those involved. It offers an insight into the world of autistic children and the problems that they and their families face. It will provide support and encouragement for families of children with autism, as well as being an invaluable source of information and advice for professionals working with autistic children and their families. Most important of all, it argues convinclingly that learning to live with autism is a two-way process. We have to reject all models of intervention based upon coercion and compliance in order to work in partnership with young people with autism. |

| Author: Ellyn Lucas Arwood, Ed.D. and Carole Kaulitz, M.Ed. |
| Children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often present parents and educators with perplexing symptoms. Even though the skills of children with ASD can range from very high to very low, they have similar underlying learning systems. Knowledge about these learning systems helps provide direction for choosing effective assessment and intervention methods for helping individuals with ASD learn to behave, to perform academically, and to become socially competent. This book is unique in that the authors are recommending strategies based on the language of the way individuals with ASD learn. Even though many scholars recognize that individuals with ASD use "visual" ways of thinking, most fail to realize that a visual mental language is different from the visual sensory system of seeing something. |
