Parent of a Child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder
"Autism and Asperger's syndrome have many faces - with this wonderful book, we get to see 38 of them. Readers are treated to a showcase of different aspects of living with autism through short vignettes (organized into sections titled 'Dignity', 'Hope', 'Opportunity' and 'Love') and brilliant photographs by Buissink. Firestone is the president and founder of the Help Group of Los Angeles, which serves children with a variety of special needs, including autism. The book is closely tied with the group; all of the families featured come from Southern California, including actors Joe Mantegna and Gary Cole and baseball pitcher Jim Gott… An excellent entry in the literature of autism and disability; strongly recommended for public libraries and academic libraries with disability studies collections."
