Summary of Mary Lynch Barbera & Temple Grandin's Turn Autism Around

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 If you’ve picked up this book, it’s likely that you are stressed, overwhelmed, and worried about your child’s delays. You might be frustrated with a long wait for an evaluation or intervention services. #2 The system for detecting and treating the earliest signs of autism and other developmental disorders is broken. It is far too long to wait to see the right professionals for evaluations. #3 Developmental disorders are quite common. In fact, 1 in 6 children ages 3 to 17 have a diagnosis of one or more developmental disorders, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, hearing loss, intellectual disability, learning disorders, and speech and language disorders. #4 The situation is much more critical for children of color, as they are typically diagnosed and treated even later than white children.
