About this listen

Parents, teachers, therapists, and anyone who cares about a child or teen on the autism spectrum needs this essential roadmap to prepare our youth for being successful adults in today's world. Best-selling author, autism advocate, and animal science professor Dr. Temple Grandin joins psychologist and autism specialist Dr. Debra Moore in spelling out the steps you can take to restore your child's hope and motivation, and what you must avoid. Eight life stories told by people on the autism spectrum, including chapters on subjects such as how to get kids off their computers, how to build on their strengths and get back to caring about their lives, and how to find a path to a successful, meaningful life make this a must-hear audiobook.

What did you love best about The Loving Push?

I teach children with Autism and find that conversations with my parents about their child's future is a very difficult conversation to have. I plan on recommending this book to my parents this upcoming school year.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Leigh Ashman?

She is a bit bland. Not the right fit for an audio book like this.

Perfect for Teachers and Parents

The information in this book is immensely valuable! I'm so grateful to have this insight. As a parent of an autistic teen, I am able to tolerate robotic speech, but why when it distracts from the sort of understanding I so desperately need? I have to pick my battles right now, and listening to this reader is not among them. I turned away from bluetooth and bought the book.

This book really sheds light on understanding my spectrum stepson. This book really helped me, and I will get more books to help me and my husband in helping in parenting and guiding.

Coming from a mom of two autistic girls - one of whom wasn’t diagnosed until almost 5th grade…this book was exactly what I needed. It described exactly how I feel sometimes (likely undiagnosed spectrum mama) and how I’m sure my oldest has felt in her life.

Best listen I’ve had

I felt like this was more of a loving push to me, as a parent of a 9-yr old son who is twice exceptional, than anything else. This input has already impacted my parenting decisions. I can't help him to be more autonomous if I don't encourage as much autonomy/responsibility as is appropriate for his age and ability. Thank you so much for publishing this!

So helpful
