About
"If your child has a diagnosis of 'on the autism spectrum, ' you may be feeling overwhelmed and most likely intimated. Often the focus is on 'disabilities' rather than 'abilities, ' and you may be left wondering what you should expect as your child journeys through life. With The Conscious Parent's Guide to Autism, you will learn how to take a relationship-centered approach to engage your child. Conscious parenting means being present with your children and taking the time to understand their point of view. Using this mindful method, you can help your child improve language skills, motor skills, and social skills..."--Page 4 of cover.
