Educating Children with Autism by Catherine Lord, ISBN 0309072697 : Autism is a word most of us are familiar with. But do we really know what it means? What we do know is that children with autism are challenged by the most essential human behaviors.

Education is the primary form of treatment for this mysterious condition. This means that we place important responsibilities, not only on schools and teachers but also on children's parents.
