Navigating Autism: 9 Mindsets For Helping Kids on the Spectrum

I love this book. I have not finished reading it but what I have read is enough to know that it is very important information for anyone who is very close to an individual who has autism.

I really wanted to like this book. Temple Grandin is one of the most respected and knowledgeable people on the subject, since she is autistic. I found this book to be very basic in general. It’s informative for someone who is just beginning the autistic journey with their child. Good book but not containing a lot of new information.

I work in Applied Behavior Analysis as an RBT first and now in my company’s admin office. My son was diagnosed with autism, so I bought this book as a way to access autism through another perspective outside of ABA and as a parent. The book has wonderful insight and provided me with a vocabulary that I did not yet have to articulate my son’s strengths, my worries about his deficits, and provided me with a framework of thinking to better understand my son now and in the future, as he is still a toddler. I think that this book is probably more for clinicians, however, in that it describes in great detail how doctors who diagnose should assess their clients. So I would not suggest this book in its entirety to my mother, for instance, who would not benefit from that call to action for clinicians; however, I would and will copy out some sections for my parents to read who are still learning about autism.

A good insight into Temple Grandin's view of Autism at this later stage in her life.

Has a lot of useful advice.

My grandson has autism and ADHD and my daughter is looking her mind trying to deal with it.this will be a gift to her

Love this book! The first few pages I have already learned so much.

I've always admired Temple Grandin and her many writings about the world of autism. Unfortunately this new book doesn't present anything new.
