Review # 1 was written on 2011-09-01 00:00:00 Waldo Galan Many children and adults are diagnosed with Autism each year. Once this was surrounded with misconception, now there is a possibility of understanding and perhaps helping individuals with autism. It is with this desire that I chose this book, to see if I could learn or understand more about this disabling problem. My son worked with teens who have different spectrums of autism, and I have felt a bit intimidated by one of them. My son, on the other hand, enjoyed being with them. Lisa, did a great job of lightening the difficult road for those who love and care for such people. It is not an easy task. Yet, it is more difficult for those who don't understand the problem than for those who deal with it day by day. Caregivers usually expect the unexpected and that is exactly what they get. In many instances neither autistic people nor their caregivers think a particular situation is noteworthy. However, for those who are outside looking in these people or children often appear to be rude, boisterous, disobedient and many other poor adjectives that display our own erroneous thinking. Like I said, this book focuses mostly on the mundane things that these children say and do. For caregivers, it will be of a great help to know that others go through the same things. Sometimes the people in the situation even tell you what to do about them. This book is not a book that will tell you who to see and how to get help for autistic people. Instead it will put a smile on your face and even lighten your day with the stories from these funny situations. I recommended it to anyone who cares or wants to know what autistic people do and say.
