AWESOME READ! By Pamela on November 17, 2014 WOW!….Reading this book, I understand so much more about the whole disorder of autism. And as a person living in this world, just living we will all most likely come across someone, somewhere that is autistic- just looking at the statistics in the book and how this had grown in numbers over the years……This book helps in knowing how to deal with those affected by this. All that parents have to go through with their children in general is a lot- but the special situations that need to be differently handled- who would have known! Also the fact that animals can have a great impact on the growth and development in an autistic persons life makes me think of training my dogs more to handle autistic situations they come across. WOW!…….Winnifred really put herself into this book and shared her experiences well, I totally recommend this for anyone actually- I think all people need to be able to communicate with ALL people out there not just one or two people of their choosing- and people need to know what to do in all situations! 5.0 out of 5 stars Learn about ASD/PDD and the right care for care-taker and care-giver! By Coach_Alexandra on December 27, 2014 Have you felt confused or frustrated about the diagnosis of ASD/PDD? Or have you felt alone, went into self-denial, or experienced other emotions regarding such a diagnosis? Mrs. Walcott discribes in her book their own family’s story and how she finally managed to turn the tide around. She explains autism and what such a diagnosis means for the child and the family. In addition, she provides guidelines and a helping hand on how one best cares for an autistic child without forgetting the much needed self-care for the care-giver.
