This book is mainly for educators of children with Autism. Although they bring out many things and help a parent, grandparent, caregiver to understand they are not the only ones facing the issues that go with Autism. The Autism individual is caring, loving, confused, and so many other attributes. To know one and try to understand them is the highest calling and the most challenging of all things you could do in this life. Love, patience and understanding are the biggest consideration to take under when they are raising an ASD child.
