Facing Autism:
Giving Parents Reasons for Hope and Guidance for Help
Giving Parents Reasons for Hope and Guidance for Help
Perhaps one of the most devastating things you can learn as a parent is that your child has been diagnosed with autism. A
multifaceted disorder, autism has long baffled parents and professionals alike. At one time, doctors gave parents virtually no hope for
combating the disorder. But in recent years, new treatments and therapies have demonstrated that improvement is possible. With
intensive, early intervention, some children have recovered from autism and have been integrated into school, indistinguishable from
their peers.
Children with autism do have the possibility to improve greatly, and some even overcome the effects of autism, if appropriate
therapies are begun early enough. Discover the steps you can take today to begin the fight for your child's future in Facing Autism.
Autism IS treatable and Recovery IS possible!
About the Author
Lynn M. Hamilton, and her husband Roger, are the parents of four children. Ryan, their oldest child, was diagnosed with autism
shortly before his third birthday, and as a result of intensive Applied Behavior Analysis, and his parents' efforts to investigate many
avenues of treatment, his life has changed forever! Today, Lynn is a speaker who shares about her family's experiences with battling
autism and effective treatment options for families. She and Roger have served with the Navigators since 1988. They live with their
children in Colorado.

"Lynn Hamilton has done a superb job of examining, evaluating, and explaining the major treatment options available to parents . . .
She has filled the book with practical help on everything from whom to call for help, how to get funding, what foods to avoid, and how
to work with the schools and doctors."
"If you can only buy one guidebook on autism, Facing Autism is the one to get."

"Facing Autism is a book I would be eager to share with families of children newly diagnosed with PDD/autism. It is, as the title
implies, proactive and positive. It is written by a remarkable woman, who it appears, developed a book that she would have loved to
access just a few short years ago when her son was diagnosed with autism. Parents of young children with autism will glean a
direction for intervention from this comprehensive compendium of diagnostic issues and intervention options."

Reading Lynn's book is like having a long, friendly and supportive conversation with someone who understands. The research is
meticulous and expansive, yet the book is a delight to read. After reading Facing Autism, you will feel that you have gained a new
friend and valuable insights into treating your child's condition."

Mother of an autistic son
"Lynn Hamilton shows a clear understanding of Applied Behavior Analysis and its role in the treatment of children with autism. Her
writing should be most helpful to parents who must make their way through the maze that autism presents."
