"The voices here confirm what I've always suspected: everyone is part of one large continuum, and the approaches and insights recounted here can help any parent, any educator, any person deal with any child—or, for that matter, any other person—more effectively and with more compassion. I only wish I'd encountered earlier this cadre of experienced and caring individuals whose humor and resourcefulness represent clearly how best to love and nurture a child."—Cynthia Nitz Ris, J.D., Ph.D., University of Cincinnati
Through sensitive, sometimes humorous, experienced-based writing from teachers, clinicians, and parent activists in the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) community, this book will help educators and others to better understand the world inhabited by ASD children. The stories contained in the book will inspire and inform readers who are working day-to-day with children in the autism spectrum, providing valuable insights into what makes these kids tick and useful information on how they communicate, learn, and succeed.
Robert Parish (Cincinnati, OH) is an award-winning journalist with four nationally broadcast public TV documentaries about Autism Spectrum Disorders to his credit, as well as more than 100 digital video projects about ASD for the educational market. You can order his book through Amazon.com and also Barnes and Noble.com.

Autism Fitness Programs are vital to the development of children on the spectrum. These programs are easy to implement at home or at schools and or organizations. More important they give parents, staff and Dad's another opportunity to engage with their children.
Exercise programs are one of the most under-utilized, yet effective, treatments for children and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders.
Exercise can be done anywhere with your child, and gives the parent an opportunity to spend time with their child while being a role model for a physically active lifestyle.
Parents already have to worry about high insurance costs when they have a child with autism. You do not need a child with autism, who also could have obesity, diabetes and heart disease. If you and your child are not involved in exercise, it's time to start!
The human body is an incredible machine that can cleanse the body of heavy metals, toxins and more. Exercise will enhance all of these abilities. It will also bring more oxygen to the cells of the brain.
