From the rear cover
Does My Child Have Autism? is a question so many parents are asking themselves today. Is he avoiding eye contact? Why can't she talk? Is my child's development normal or does he have an Autism Spectrum Disorder? Parents know that if their child is somewhere on that spectrum, they need to intervene as early as possible to maximize the benefits of early treatment. This groundbreaking book, by one of the foremost experts, teachers, and clinicians in the field, provides a guide for parents about what to look for at home at twenty-four months or even earlier, what to do, and how to get the right kind of help from doctors, counselors, therapists, and other professionals.
Step-by-step, Stone walks you through the diagnostic process for young children with autism and offers vital information about what will be expected of you and your child during the clinical assessment. The book reveals the critical importance of early intervention and outlines the various types of interventions that are currently available. In addition, Does My Child Have Autism? gives you practical tips, activities, and teaching tools that can be used at home to improve your child's social, communication, and play skills.
"Clear and compassionate ... takes families through early warning signs, understanding the diagnostic process, and what types of early treatment might be helpful. A must-read for families with children who may have or do have an Autism Spectrum Disorder as well as clinicians and caregivers of children and families with ASD."
--Susan E. Levy, M.D., Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
