[Tracy Boyd · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you are in the field, this a must read.
Travis Breeding provides a personal and clinical analysis of social behavior on the spectrum - all of it's complexities and nuances - and how important appropriate therapy is, including an ABA approach is for success. He speaks honestly about his own hardships with social behaviors - what has worked and what hasn't. He discusses the lack of appropriate support, and the dangers of uncredentialed providers attempting to provide ABA. 5 stars!
