The incidence of autism has increased tenfold in the last decade-the condition now affects 425,000 children in the United States alone.

In an accessible, empathetic voice, she discusses

- what the world looks like viewed through an autistic
child's eyes
- the schools of thought about types of treatment , what they have
to offer, and their emotional and financial costs to the family
- the steps parents need to take to get autistic children the
educational help they need
