About this product

Product Information

International autism advocate and bestselling author Chantal Sicile-Kira provides this simple, concise explanation of one of the most prevalent disorders in America. Each year, 1 in every 100 children in America are diagnosed with autism. Although autism has reached epidemic proportions, it is far from understood. In What Is Autism ? Chantal Sicile-Kira provides a clear, instructive explanation of autism spectrum disorders and what life is like for those on the spectrum. If you know someone with autism and would benefit from a quick, straightforward explanation of the condition, this book is the perfect resource. What Is Autism ? explores in a simple question-answer format topics such as: What are the causes of autism? Can vaccines cause autism? Can autism be prevented? How can I recognize the symptoms? Why do children and teens with autism act the way they do? What are the emotional effects of autism on the family?

Reviews
"A wonderful first introduction to autism for parents, teachers, relatives, and neighbors of a child on the autism spectrum." --Temple Grandin, author of Thinking in Pictures "An incredible resource for family members, professionals and individuals on the spectrum attempting to better inform the public about various aspects of ASD." --Dr. Cathy Pratt, Chair, Autism Society of America and Director, Indiana Resource Center for Autism "In her crisp and authentic voice, Chantal provides a work that broadens the understanding and offers many answers to the most perplexing problems. Well done!" --Edmund C. Arranga, Co-founder & Executive Director, AutismOne "[Chantal's] work cuts to the heart of the matter. She approaches the subject by acknowledging its immensity and its baffling characteristics. Yet by sticking to a doctrine of clarity and pragmatism, she also enlightens." --Douglas Kennedy, author of Leaving the World and The Job
