There is the heartache we all share when our child is given the diagnosis of autism. At first we feel all alone in the world wondering how this could happen to my child, but we are not alone, there are a growing number of families who have a child who has been diagnosed with autism. A mother tells her story and explains how she took control of her son's future by creating her own therapy, sharing with other parents how she was able to determine what her son needed and then how to implement those needs into lessons he could understand. Gain insight into the ways in which you can begin providing your own therapy for your child or choosing to home school if that is your wish. If you have a child that has not been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder but you suspect they might be autistic, learn the diagnostic criteria used by professionals in diagnosing Autism Spectrum Disorders.
