My new book Turn Autism Around: An Action Guide for Parents of Young Children with Early Signs of Autism is now available for pre-order!

By pre-ordering, you’ll be able to access some of the book material beforehand, plus you’ll be sent a link to attend a free workshop, and you’ll have exclusive access to a video interview with Dr. Temple Grandin. I hope you love this book and share my excitement for how it will change the lives of parents and children with autism around the world.
