"Why you should steer clear of Doctor Google and have faith in your own parenting skills and intuition -- here's how. If you want your kid to thrive in school and at home and become a prosperous adult, you'll need to implement modern approaches in your parenting style. Autism is a highly complex disorder -- one that not even scientists completely understand. You shouldn't set such parenting standards where you know exactly what to do. Just like your child, you are going to need a little bit of extra education to support your ASD child. You don't need to be a psychologist or have special training. What you need to do is act fast, because one of the most consistent pieces of advice you will hear from any ASD expert is that early intervention is always best."-From back cover.
