Highly Charged Humor!
Upon reading some of the anecdotes in this work, I laughed so hard it hurt.I love the way the young boy featured in this book had a very original way of viewing what was taking place in his world and his novel way of responding.

Autism and its related condition, Asperger's Syndrome is a neurobiological condition that not only affects sensory processing and sensory integration, but communication as well.The a/A spectrum covers a wide sensori-behavioral base and this book does an excellent job of describing behavior that is closer to the autism end of that spectrum.People with autism as well as people with NT (neurotypical) brains alike will laugh at some of the stories in this book.

People on the a/A spectrum tend to be highly charged on a sensory count.I smile when I think of how this work is a highly charged humor ion - traveling the a/A-NT circuit!

Laughing and Loving with Autism
There are stories devoted to laughing, music, church, facilitated communication, home, out in the "real" world and school. An amusing illustration shows a boy standing up in church raising his hands like the priest. The boy thought he was cheering like his father did when watching football so he yelled out "touchdown" thinking this was a signal.

This compilation of real life warm and humorous stories gives an inside look at the unique views those with autism hold. Reading through Laughing and Loving with Autism gives the perspective on seeing the world through the eyes of someone who is autistic, whether they are a child or adult, boy or girl. As a parent it is very easy to relate to these stories and see this happening in my future as well. The contributions were not altered in any way with the original content they submitted still intact.

While there are many books on the subject of Autism this is one that I truly appreciated and would rather see on the coffee table than a textbook that is outdated. These stories are priceless no matter how old they are.

Laughing and Loving with Autism is a book to be shared with teachers, therapists, family members and professionals to better understand the humorous side to the autistic person. This is the perfect book to read at the end of the evening to put it all in perspective.

If you love someone with autism you will relate to this book
It was refreshing to read true-to-life accounts of situations similar to what we have encountered with our 15 year old son who has autism.This is a book that you must read if you love someone who has autism.You willlaugh and cry as you identify with the situations. ... Read more

Editorial Review Product Description Children on the autistic spectrum frequently suffer from gastrointestinal complaints such as diarrhoea, constipation, abdominal pain, abdominal distension and flatulence. Far from being 'just part of the condition', worldwide research is confirming parents' reports that many of these children are actually suffering from serious underlying conditions which, if left untreated, are a source of constant pain, which in turn can greatly exacerbate autistic behavioural symptoms."Autism and Gastrointestinal Complaints" summarises the symptoms often experienced and offers an accessible explanation of the underlying medical condition, together with practical suggestions as to how to help reduce the child's suffering. The findings of the latest research are presented in an understandable way, with a glossary explaining some of the terms often used by medics in plain language.This book offers a concise guide to all aspects of gastrointestinal complaints in children with autism, and is an ideal resource for parents, teachers and any other family member or caregiver who needs to know how to help an autistic child. ...

Editorial Review Product Description This up-to-date and comprehensive set of two CD-ROM discs provides a superb collection of official Federal government documents on the subject of autism, pervasive developmental disorders, and autism spectrum disorders. Autism is a disorder that is usually first diagnosed in early childhood. The main signs and symptoms of autism involve communication, social interactions and repetitive behaviors. Children with autism might have problems talking with you, or they might not look you in the eye when you talk to them. They may have to line up their pencils before they can pay attention, or they may say the same sentence again and again to calm themselves down. They may flap their arms to tell you they are happy, or they might hurt themselves to tell you they are not. Some people with autism never learn how to talk.For patients, practical information is provided in clearly written patient education documents. For medical professionals, doctor reference tools and texts have detailed technical information and clinical background material. There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, and portable - everything you need to know, from the federal sources you trust. This thoroughly researched collection presents vital information from many authoritative sources: Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control (CDC), National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the relevant institute for this disease, and others.In addition to the comprehensive disease-specific coverage, this disc set also includes our Medical Encyclopedia, a $19.95 value! The Encyclopedia presents a collection of official documents about a wide range of medical topics, diseases, illnesses, health and wellness. There is vital information from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), National Cancer Institute, and more.
