description: "It is conservatively estimated that nearly 400,000 people in the United States have some form of autism - the third most common developmental disability. But the majority of the public, including many professionals in the medical, educational, and vocational fields, remain unaware of how autism affects people." - Families for Early Autism Treatment The book, Silent The Joys and Challenges in Raising an Autistic Child, answers that question and others as it is a true account of the authors raising a daughter with special needs. This book also includes testimonies of people from various walks of life about this child and how they see her as she relates to them on a daily basis. Finally, this book offers practical suggestions how someone can interact with an individual or a family with special needs and make a positive impact in our society.
