We found out my son was autistic one year ago. After considering the many options available, we decided to try the Son-Rise program offered by the Option Institute. It has changed our lives and changed our son. After only a few months, our three year old went from having said two sentences of about 4-5 words, to complete conversations with sentences up to 9 words. He can now tolerate going to public places, whereas a few short months ago he would scream and throw things at anyone who even said hello to us. We are in awe of this program. It is the most profoundly respectful and loving way anyone could ever be treated. And this is exactly the way children on the autism spectrum should be treated. It is truly a miracle to see our son emerging from his autistic world into our complicated and sometimes non-user friendly world. This book explains how Bears and Samahria Kaufman developed this program for their son over 30 years ago. Against all odds, they were able to bring their "non-functioning" son out of his autism into their world. He was able to graduate from a university and currently travels the world giving lectures to other parents of autistic children, giving them hope. He was diagnosed with an IQ of under 30 when he was autistic. Now he is considered to be near genius, with absolutely no signs of his previous autism. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for an alternative to what most institutions offer autistic kids. It has filled so many parents with hope, love and courage to help their precious children. To learn more about the program, you can go to www.autismtreatmentcenter.org. It will be well worth your consideration.Read full review
