For parents struggling to adjust to the diagnosis of their child as autistic (or as having Asperger's syndrome or PDD), the stress is often compounded by simultaneously having to absorb vast amounts of information about their child's condition and their various options for treatment and education. Busy teachers, speech therapists and other professionals must also educate themselves rapidly about autism in order to deal with a child or adult who may have problems and gifts quite unlike those seen in any other disability. This book (along with Bryna Siegel's excellent "The World of the Autistic Child") should help. Lorna Wing is both a renowned researcher and the mother of an autistic child. Her book combines state-of-the-art information on all aspects of the autistic continuum with a clear and readable style and a wealth of good sense. This book has already been published and greatly appreciated in the UK - I hope the same will be true as it reaches in the rest of the world.
