The Autism Checklist: A Practical Reference for Parents and Teachers Paperback – September 8, 2009

I would urge every parent of a child with ASD, every educator who teaches children with ASD, as well as each individual within the community that supports individuals with ASD to purchase at least one copy of this book. My initial purchase was five copies and I'm on my second order.For many years Paula Kluth has been an asset to our son's educational process with her previous publications as well as professional advice on her website. She is not only invested in assisting within her professional standards, but also has done much within community acceptance and awareness for individuals living with autism daily. She is an amazing advocate for all children and adults that have unique learning and communication abilities as well.John Shouse's input in this book also is apparent not only from the insight of being a parent, but also from the aspect of an individual that is a strong believer in community access, providing opportunity, and giving that gem of information that just clicks.As a parent of an eighteen year old son with ASD, I am very appreciative that this book exists and only wish I had it sixteen years ago when our son was first diagnosed.

I got this book for several of my son's teachers and his paras. It was received very well, and I had more teachers asking for the book. Just bought some more for summer camp, and I need a copy! It is nice just to quickly look something up, so you know if this is a typical Autism problem, or something else. My son got in trouble at camp last year for laughing and giggling at his counselor while being reprimanded. Everyone was furious with my disrespectful son. Turns out this is an "Autism" thing. Autism is a social disorder and my son was giggling, because he didn't know what to do, and showed his nervousness through giggling.

This book covers every challenge in school or at home, and how to overcome them. Being the parent of a child with Autism, I have now decided to purchase a copy for my child's teacher, HCA(one on one aid), and a copy for the school library. Anyone who reads this book will understand my son and his needs. It's a must read for any Parent, Therapist, Special Ed. Teacher or anyone who comes in contact with someone with Autism. I wish I would have had this book 5 years ago, when we received our diagnosis.

I have a 6 year old autistic son, and I found this book to be very helpful. I plan on getting his teacher and Aide a copy of this book to help them understand more about autism.
