A parent-focused guide to early autism concerns and intervention options

Robert W. Sears organizes the subject around the decisions parents may face from infancy through diagnosis and treatment planning. It addresses early signs, the author’s views on reducing risk, and a biomedical approach he presents alongside developmental, behavioral, and learning therapies. Practical guidance extends to beginning certain treatments at home, navigating vaccine information as presented by the author, and locating further support through an extensive resources section. Published in 2010, the book frames autism care through Sears’s stated clinical perspective and emphasizes step-by-step orientation for families confronting a complex set of choices.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Parents seeking an overview of early autism detection and post-diagnosis planning
  • Families interested in developmental, behavioral, learning, and biomedical treatment approaches presented by the author
  • Caregivers wanting a resource-oriented starting point for autism-related questions

Book overview

With clarity and compassion, Dr. Robert Sears guides the reader through the maze of autism, explaining what precautions parents can take to decrease their baby's risk, how to detect autism at the earliest possible age, and how to proceed once a diagnosis has been made. The book provides parents with a simple and clear understanding of the biomedical treatment approach that Dr. Sears has used successfully with many of his young patients. It lays out a plan for developmental, behavioral, and learning therapies; shows parents how to begin treatments without a doctor's help; presents information on vaccines and their safe use; and includes an extensive resources section. THE AUTISM BOOK provides all the information and reassurance parents need.
