A mother of an autistic child and a psychologist share valuable information about raising a child with autism. Offering parent-to-parent advice as well as professional guidance, this book tackles such issues as picky eating, bedtime battles, and discipline.
Bobbi Sheahan, mother of a child with autism, and psychologist Kathy DeOrnellas, Ph.D., did not write this book to lecture you on how to parent your child. Instead, they offer themselves as your scouts in the field, who have valuable information to share--from the moment you realize your kid is different ("My, what a quiet baby I have!"), to the self-righteous moms on the playground, to holding your marriage together in the realm of routines.
They candidly tackle ASD issues such as: Picky EatingBedtime BattlesPotty TrainingSpeech DelaysDisciplineEarly InterventionSibling RivalryAnd much more!
