One of the best ways by which a person can deal with a diagnosis of ASD for a child or family member is to educate oneself about this condition.
There are plenty of prevalent myths and misconceptions regarding autism that only serves to cloud our understanding of this condition. To be able to cope well and effectively with the symptoms of ASD requires an objective, tolerant and open-minded approach regarding what this condition is, and how people diagnosed with autism are different from most other people.
ASD Explained by Frederick Earlstein is a comprehensive guide for the parents, friends and family of individuals diagnosed with autism. It brings together many of the current information, research and knowledge that we have regarding ASD, from symptoms, causes, treatments, and future directions in the field of autism research.
