| Publisher Description: All of us are autistic. We differ only in degrees. It is difficult to tell at what point in our upbringing our caregivers should have intervened to broaden our vision. However, when we do see a young child of 2 struggling to make a connection, we cannot sit back and let nature take its course. We have to rise the challenge nature has thrown to the child's parents. I wrote this book to highlight the role of a dad in this endeavor. There are many aspects of dealing with autism. Running away from the problem is a way out. Why not take up the challenge instead, as for a long-playing activity. The benefits are too many to enumerate. Since most books are by mothers, dads need to know what to do and how to work as a team and even get the upper hand (over the mom ) at times. 2 heads are always better than one. Autism needs to be considered a race. Many times dads think better like that. Something akin to the Iditarod in Alaska. A project to be embarked upon with the ultimate challenge to be not only completing the race but most important, planning for the milestones in advance. These are Insurance, Biomedicals, Special services and Therapy. Dads need to aim to get a coterie of important professionals around them early on and believe in them to avoid information overload in terms of therapies and biomedicals. |
