Autism: Revealed! The Ultimate Information Book
Discover The Ultimate Autism Information Book Here!
Autism is a permanent developmental disability affecting an individual’s skills to communicate and interact with other people as well as the world they are in. Autism is considered a spectrum condition in the sense that the individuals are affected by the disorder in different ways although they all share specific areas of difficulty.
Some individuals with autism having the ability to live on their own home or apartment, sustain their basic needs just like typically developing people. Others with autism may need a lifetime support of therapies and specialists. Individuals with autism may also have over- or under-sensitivity to light, colors, touch, sounds, smells, and tastes.
It is still uncertain why people have autism. Having children with autism does not necessarily mean that their parents are bad. If there is more than one individual in the family who has autism, then it can be genetic. Thus, autism may be passed on from parents to their offspring.
Autism affects all the 5 senses of the individual. For instance, when it comes to the sense of sight, some people with autism may be irritated or annoyed with bright colors and lights while others like them. When it comes to the sense of hearing or sound, some individuals with autism may like specific noises while others hate loud noises. When it comes to the sense of smell, some individuals with autism like certain smells while others do not. More often than not, individuals with autism do not like being touched as they easily manifest tantrums or other negative behaviors. Finally, some people with autism like to eat the same kind of food on a daily basis although others like to eat different food.
This book contains a comprehensive discussion on what autism is, how the disorder is diagnosed, what its symptoms are, and what treatments are available to reduce or eradicate it. This book also provides thorough information on how to recognize early signs of autism as well as how people, specifically parents to understand, care for and support children and adults with autism in the most appropriate ways.

Firstly, this book is riddled with errors like missing articles (a/an) and pluralizations (-s) and unnecessary commas that trip up reading. It also lacks citations for many of its assertions.
I recommend this book for:
-breakdown of typical child development targets by age
-describes common comorbid conditions
-acknowledges that not all autistic people have the same symptoms or to the same extent
-acknowledges that some autistic people can live normal lives
-notes that the rise in cases may be due to increased diagnosis, not increased rates (but still states that autism is less common in girls rather than less diagnosed)
-Points out that children receive many vaccines around the time symptoms are noticed and associate the two, but that research does not support any connection
-acknowledges a/multiple genetic components to autism that may be immediately heritable or influenced during development
-addresses the ways parents may respond to their child's diagnosis, including anger and denial, and recommends discussion of difficult feelings instead of suppression, and not directing them at the kid
-recommends parents to encourage self-advocacy in their autistic kids
-does not provide one-size-fits-all approaches
-recommends being proud of your kid's accomplishments and not comparing them to others', just like you would be of a nonautistic child
I do not recommend this book for the following reasons:
-It presents a medicalized view of autism as a disorder only, with information about "reducing the risk" (eugenics basically), and conflates the disabilities or deficiencies associated with autism with the entirety of autism (hence the idea that it can be cured/treated/not be a lifelong condition)
-It presents ABA therapies as appropriate treatments rather than traumatic forced behavior adjustments
-Exclusive use of person-first language got really annoying
-Primarily aimed at parents/caregivers wondering how to notice and treat autism in their young children
-does no explaining of what it is like to be autistic or how to support yourself if you notice autistic traits; mainly a breakdown of all the problems or lack of typical developmental behaviors autistic people show
