Reviews
Loved Jerry Newport's 'Asperger's Diagnosis.' Special Education Diagnostician As a mother, Alex's emails gave me hope that one day my son may communicate that way. Parent (of a child with autism) Before I reviewed it, you guaranteed me I'd get five out-loud laughs. I go many, many more than that. PSYCHOLOGIST

Author Information
Wayne Gilpin founded the Future Horizons publishing company in 1996. Before that, he was publishing car repair guides and law books. But his son's diagnosis of autism rerouted his career path. He joined the Autism Society of America and was voted president in 1987. Collecting as much information on autism as he could, Wayne was saddened by the fact that all of the resources at the time were very negative and offered little hope for his son. But his experience told a different story. His son Alex was a gentle, honest, and intelligent person, and Wayne was confident that Alex would overcome his obstacles and defy the odds. To bring a little light into the autism community, he compiled and published a book called Laughing and Loving with Autism. It contained humorous and touching stories from parents of children with autism. It was the first book to really capture the positive aspects of these kids, and it gave other parents hope. Now, over 100 books and DVDs later, Future Horizons is the leading autism publisher in the world.
