Publisher's summary
Empowering strategies for anyone who works with children and teens on the spectrum.
Internationally best-selling writer and autist Temple Grandin joins psychologist Debra Moore in presenting nine strengths-based mindsets necessary to successfully work with young people on the autism spectrum. Examples and stories bring the approaches to life, and detailed suggestions help listeners put them to practical use.
Temple Grandin shares her own personal experiences and anecdotes from parents and professionals who have sought her advice, while Debra Moore draws on more than three decades of work as a psychologist with kids on the spectrum and those who love and care for them. So many people support the lives of these kids, and this book is for all of them: teachers; special education staff; mental health clinicians; physical, occupational, and speech therapists; parents; and anyone interacting with autistic children or teens.

Story
Autism therapy typically focuses on ridding individuals of “autistic” symptoms such as difficulties interacting socially, problems in communicating, sensory challenges, and repetitive behavior patterns. Now Dr. Barry M. Prizant offers a new and compelling paradigm: The most successful approaches to autism don’t aim at fixing a person by eliminating symptoms, but rather seeking to understand the individual’s experience and what underlies the behavior. Rather than curb these behaviors, it’s better to enhance abilities, build on strengths, and offer supports.

Wired reporter Steve Silberman unearths the secret history of autism, long suppressed by the same clinicians who became famous for discovering it, and finds surprising answers to the crucial question of why the number of diagnoses has soared in recent years.

We want our children to succeed, to be their best, and to do their best, but what if they are not on board? A few years ago, Ned Johnson and Bill Stixrud started noticing the same problem from different angles: even high-performing kids were coming to them acutely stressed and lacking any real motivation. Many complained that they had no real control over their lives.

However, until we are clearer about our core values and the parenting choices that are most likely to lead to authentic, and not superficial, success, we will continue to raise exhausted, externally driven, impaired children.

The future of our society depends on our gifted children - the population in which we'll find our next Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, or Virginia Woolf. Yet the gifts and talents of some of our most brilliant kids may never be recognized because these children fall into a group known as twice exceptional, or "2e". Twice exceptional kids are both gifted and diagnosed with a disability - often ADHD or an autism spectrum disorder - leading teachers and parents to overlook the child's talents and focus solely on his weaknesses.

Autism therapy typically focuses on ridding individuals of “autistic” symptoms such as difficulties interacting socially, problems in communicating, sensory challenges, and repetitive behavior patterns. Now Dr. Barry M. Prizant offers a new and compelling paradigm: The most successful approaches to autism don’t aim at fixing a person by eliminating symptoms, but rather seeking to understand the individual’s experience and what underlies the behavior. Rather than curb these behaviors, it’s better to enhance abilities, build on strengths, and offer supports.

rich content. challenging narration.
i struggled with the narrator's reading. the content is good, and relevant for me. i have a teenage boy on the spectrum who challenges every step of the way. the book ends looking at him as a functioning adult. most parents are challenged concerning this possibility if reading this book. I may have to review this book repeatedly, it's insightful. adjusting the playback speed helps.

Helpful information and perspective
It took a bit to get use to the narration and it felt very bland. Granted the presentation isn’t horrible—it’s just different. This is the first audio book that I really took notes on because there is so much great information. I think even if someone were to skim through this book they would find something of value. I like how when information is presented with examples. There was also a big flag for me in parts about how fathers are treated differently when trying to seek help as a caregiver to a child with autism and there is a disparity here. I’m definitely interested in reading more from Temple Grandin to gain further understanding.

The voice reading is relevant!
I am fascinated with divergent thinkers, this book creates autism as victims! I listened to the whole thing, reminding myself I can better work with all kids. I came away with pathos.Perhaps some people like church ladies, i am reading “visual learners “and thoroughly enjoying the content, in fact, I ordered 25 copies for our school!
