Review: Not Alarmist!
Rating: 5 out of 5

A little nervous going into this book, as literature about autism can be alarmist, I was glad to find this book did not preach any "cure alls" or "miracles" in diets or other radical changes.  Smiley handled the subject of having an autistic child with patience and common sense. A lot of her advice, and she acknowledges this, is related to parenting first and then to handling the extra challenges of autism. She continuously encourages parents to evaluate their own situation and child and consult with their doctors and therapists
