Rezensionen
"...for its suggestions of cultivating a healthier mindset,it's a winner." -LibraryJournal.com (August 28, 2009)

"Hooray! Hooray! Finally a book that offersreal hope and resources for parents of Autistic children tounderstand what their child is experiencing, and to make life forthemselves and their child easier to manage. Mr. Stillmanspeaks from experience as a person livingwith Asperger's Syndrome and as an advocate for those onthe spectrum who can't speak for themselves. An expert andpassionate advocate for those with autism, William Stillman haswritten a commonsense guide for parenting children with autism. He believes that by giving those around the autistic childthe information that they need to recognize their child's uniquepersonality, will help liberate them from the culture of fear andthe stigma so prevalent in our society. Hedemonstrates why the current methods that are used don't tend towork, and offers a ten-step guide for a better, more fulfillingrelationship with children with autism. By believing thatthey are essentially competent to handle tasks, their lives areenriched and so are the lives of those around them." ---Marta Hoelscher, BasilandSpice.com

Stillman puts aside common misperceptions to reveal thetruth: people with autism are intelligent, insightful andinspired-they just have a different way of showing their talents.And who would know better than someone who has spent his lifeadvocating for himself and all those individuals who have beenlucky enough to work with him?" --- Carine Nadal,Fabulously40.com

"Stillman, an adult with Asperger's syndrome,encourages parents of children with autism to try to understandtheir child's perspective of the disorder. He urges parentsto discard a "fix-it" mentality and instead embrace their childrenas they are and to recognize their intelligence, and contributionto society, without viewing their difficulties or deficits as ahindrance. Stillman discounts the medical and diagnosticperceptions of autism to propose a reverence of those withdifferences and a desire to understand better their uniquecommunication methods and insights." --- Lisa M.
