Overview

No parent ever forgets the day they heard from a doctor that their child was-or could be-autistic. It was no different for the author of this book, a pediatrician with 20 years of medical experience. This experience and contact with countless families brought insights that cannot be learned in medical school: the anguish about the future, the uncertainty of not knowing whether you're doing the right things, the exhausting explanations to friends and relatives, the search for qualified therapists, and the ongoing fight for your child's rights. All of this led the author to write a concise and practical guide containing all the essential information that parents and family members of every newly diagnosed child with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) need to know: - What is autism? - How does this condition affect the child? - How do treatments work, and what is their purpose? - How does autism impact the family? - How can I help my autistic child in daily life? - What should I expect for the future? This book is not a technical manual attempting to cover ""everything"" about autism. Instead, it is the heartfelt effort of Dr. Ronaldo Correia-a pediatrician and father of an autistic child-to combine personal experience with professional expertise to help parents and families who are trying to understand a condition affecting the person they love most in the world.
