A must for everybody

Anyone who comes in contact with a person on the autism spectrum should read this book. It is a quick and easy read with the ten characteristics clearly stated and easily understood. The suggestions are concise and to the point. Every teacher should have this as a resource and it should be a mandatory read. Having taught children with autism has been a privilege and reading a parent's perspective has reminded me of that once again.

10 things is only the start

10 Things is an awesome start to help parents and the professionals working with children in the autism spectrum understand the individual behind the symptoms and behaviors. As these children have grown up and begun to talk about their childhoods with the misconceptions and at times emotional abuse they had to endure in order to be "helped" we learn more and more about our biases and errors in interpretation of what we see and hear. This book should be a must read for all parents of newly diagnosed children in the spectrum so that the same mistakes are not made with their children. I am sure the author could have actually come up with 50 or more things, but 10 allows the reader to feel like it is not insurmountable and she does a great job of capturing the essential needs in those 10 "things".

A Must read for those dealing with autism!

This book reads easy and fast and it should be handed out to every parent whose child is diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum. It can change the perceptions of anyone--family, friend, educator or counselor--who is face with the baffling behavior of an autistic child. I cannot impress just how much this slim volume can help.
The core beliefs in 10 Things Every Child With Autism Wishes You Knew are:
-All behaviors happen for a reason.
And
-All behavior is communication.
The focus is on presenting (not really exploring or solving problems) the possible causes of "bad" behavior and realigning the thought patterns neurotypical people have when dealing with those on the spectrum. It can also help parents get behind the possible causes of misbehavior on the part of "normal" children.
Some principals in this book are--or should be--universal. Don't let one term (Autism, ADHD, or even "trouble child") define all your child is. Focus on what your child can do instead of getting lost in what he or she can't do. All behavior has a cause, ferreting out the cause can go very far in helping to resolve negative behavior. And most importantly of all, love should not be dependent on good grades, good behavior or "being normal". Love should be unconditional.
If there was ever an Idiot's Guide to Raising a Child this might be it. An essential book for understanding the social, language and sensory challenges experienced by many types of special needs children. This book should be mandatory reading for anyone whose life is touched by Autism Spectrum Disorders.
