Praise for this book

"Grandin...delivers an insightful and pragmatic guide to helping autistic children thrive. Grandin, who is autistic, recalls how an early education program markedly improved her speech skills as a child--before that, she'd sometimes resort to screaming to communicate--and draws on that experience to advocate for an early-intervention, child-centered approach to education. The author's pinpoint guiding principles (high expectations yield results) and brass-tacks recommendations (strategies for teaching turn-taking or mastering basic life skills) combine to create a program that's thoughtful and comprehensive, but not overwhelming. For educators or parents of autistic children, this will be a valuable resource. -- Publishers Weekly
