Publisher's note

William Stillman, an adult with Asperger's Syndrome, presents his latest revolutionary and thought-provoking book, "Empowered Autism Parenting," as a challenge to parents of children with autism to perceive their child's experience from a totally new and unique "inside-out" perspective by understanding the following:

Children with autism are intelligent but may have unconventional methods of communication--"behaviors" that need to be understood and appreciated Acknowledging your child's true intellect despite diagnoses to the contrary Realizing your own "autisms" to see why we are all more alike than different Why your child doesn't need traditional therapy or medication to "treat" autism How the autism industry perpetuates parental fear and guilt Understanding your non-verbal child's symbolic communications as legitimate ways of expression Identifying your child's passionate interests if he appears to have none Why the real autism "epidemic" has nothing to do with young children How those autism ribbons and public awareness cards can send the wrong message Understanding how your child best thinks, learns, and retains information. Ten ways to enrich the relationship with your child through a belief in competence

In his most candid work to date, Stillman also shatters myths about high-cost therapies and "autism medications"--grist for an industry that promotes a culture of fear about autism. Stillman clears aside the clinical and pathological perceptions of autism to reveal the truth: people with autism are intelligent, insightful and inspired human beings entitled to participate and contribute to the fullest.
