"I absolutely loved this book! It has a very real and personal perspective on Autism so that everyone could relate to what Ms. Grandin went through. She has great suggestions for how to deal with some issues and she provides something I haven't seen in other books on Autism. She provides hope; a reasurance that we can make it through the tough times and that things will be better. I loved this book and I'm sure you will also. It was the best purchase I've bought this year. " "Celestial Rain"
