Get the Book... Autism Life Skills

I had mentioned a while back that I was reading Autism Life Skills by Chantal Sicile-Kira. I have finished the book and I highly recommend it.

I was happy to see a few adults with Autism that I know from the Autism Hub being interviewed. The book is one of the more positive and helpful books I have read on Autism in a long time. I am especially pleased that adults with Autism share their insights throughout the book.

Sensory overload is a huge challenge for Maizie. Much of her aggressive behavior is a result of sensory overload. This book explains that in many situations the child with Autism cannot control it. I knew this but was glad to see it explained in this book.

It was also a relief to read a book that did not waste my time discussing potential causes, cures and ongoing debates.

I highly encourage you to get a hold of this book. I am going to buy a copy. I want a few people close to me to read it.
