********************************************************************************************
It's estimated that one in almost a hundred people are diagnosed as
being on the autistic spectrum but there is far more hope for them
today than ever before thanks to ground-breaking new research. In
this fascinating and highly readable book, Temple Grandin offers
her own experience as an autistic person alongside remarkable new
discoveries about the autistic brain, as well as genetic research.
She highlights long-ignored sensory problems as well as the need to
treat autism symptom by symptom, rather than with an umbrella
diagnosis. Most exciting of all, she argues that raising and
educating children on the autistic spectrum needs to be less about
focusing on their weaknesses, and more about fostering their unique
contributions. Written in a clear, concise and accessible way, with
illustrative diagrams and key points pulled out for emphasis, this
is an all-encompassing guide that will change the perception of
autism.
