Very informative, but mainly focuses on early intervention and seeking diagnosis for children under two years old. At the time I read this, Sofia was already 3 1/2 and had already been diagnosed...therefore much of the book didn't apply to us. Lots of good information about autism in general, so that was helpful.

Accessible and informative.
