Stemming from a wealth of both professional and personal experience, this guidebook combines real-life stories of challenges and successes with practical ideas for handling autism, every day. Autism consultant Alyson Beytien outlines over 150 tried-and-true techniques for home, school, and community.
Alyson’s three boys cover the whole spectrum of autism―Asperger’s syndrome, high-functioning autism, and classic autism. She understands the wide range of needs these children have and has discovered what helps and what hinders. Covering a full gamut of issues―from picky-eating and echolalia to IEPs and “The Woes of Walmart”―Alyson’s ideas and interventions will inspire and inform all those who are connected to a person with autism. Alyson believes that each day brings more opportunities to learn, problem-solve, and celebrate the joys that children with autism bring to our world―after all, today’s crisis is tomorrow’s humor. Her family’s motto will soon become your everyday mantra: “Improvise and Overcome!”

Disclaimer: I have met the Beytien family, and have been fortunate to see them in action and to have heard some of the experiences related in this book prior to purchasing it for myself. Even so, this family’s experiences move me to laughter and tears.I continue to be impressed with Alyson’s breadth of knowledge and her continuing search to learn all she can to help her sons lead joyful lives. She is very generous to share her personal experiences as a way to help other parents. Even as a parent of “typical” children, I find that I can apply most of what Alyson shares to my own life. She deals with the issues many people hesitate to address, and that some are afraid to ask about.Alyson’s writing style is fresh and direct. Her message is straightforward and easy to follow. I especially like the brief summary of points at the end of each chapter. Too often, when reading something informational about something I am stressed or worried about, I can lose track of what I am meant to be learning. Alyson’s format prevents that from happening.Whether you are the parent, grandparent, neighbor, or educator of a child with autism, this book will give you insight into how you can help.

This is the SINGLE BEST autism book I have ever gotten
This is the SINGLE BEST autism book I have ever gotten. I read it in just one day. Alyson utilizes personal knowledge and experience to help parents and friends understand what its like living with and surviving autism. I have shared this with friends who have both typical and developmentally delayed children as well as with my mom to help her experience what we do on a daily basis. Her charm and wit draw you in to her and her entire family leaving you yearning to learn more about Alyson. As a mom of a child with ASD, I would highly recommend this book. I wish there was a sequel.

Good, basic info. Voice in audio book is annoying.
I found the information in this book to be direct and basic. Probably good for someone who is just beginning their journey. I listened to the audio book and DEAR GOD the readers voice almost sent me over the edge. It’s very nasal and valley girl like and she uses voice inflections at all the wrong times. Perhaps it would have been a more pleasant experience if this had not been the case.

Eye opener, educational and informative
Before reading this book I had no idea how to help my grandson who was diagnosed with autism recently. This book gave me hope and understanding of his condition and has practical ways to help a child with a spectrum disorder.
