"Valuable information on all aspects of working with the autistic population____
It contains the kind of personal experience and open sharing that makes it easier to face the challenges that lie ahead in dealing with future generations of autistic adults—here's what we tried, here are the reasons we tried it, here's how it worked—the kinds of successes, honest failures, and revelations from which parents and professionals can all learn. I WILL DEFINITELY BE RECOMMENDING IT to my colleagues In horticultural therapy and my fellow students and associates in special education."
