EDMONTON, ALBERTA - August 4, 2010 - Autism Today, a leading autism spectrum disorder education and awareness organization, announced that the unique comprehensive book, "Autism Tomorrow, The Complete Guide to Help Your Child Thrive in the Real World," is now available. The book is a compilation of advice from leading experts in autism spectrum disorders with each author adding valuable insight to help parents, care providers and educators guide children into adulthood.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that 1 in 110 children are diagnosed with autism every year. As these children grow, more are beginning higher education and entering the workforce than ever before. They have unique talents to bring to any employer but at the same time have sensory and social skill issues that need understanding. "Autism Tomorrow" addresses issues and concerns to help make the transition from childhood to adulthood.
"'Autism Tomorrow' contains a multitude of information that I have not found in the many other Aspergers/Autism related books I have read," said Ashleigh Crane, mother of a child with autism. "In the first few chapters, I am already better able to understand my beloved son and the role he needs me to play in his life to be the best person he can be."
The book answers critical questions including; "Will my child be able to work?" "How will my child live?" "How do I handle puberty and sexuality?" and "What information is needed for employment and employers?" In addition, readers will learn how to plan for a financially sound future, deal with bullying, address health and fitness issues, improve communication and social skills and many more real-world concerns.
Sixteen best-selling authors and experts are featured in the book including Dr. Temple Grandin, Karen Simmons, Bill Davis, Dr. Stephen Shore, Julie Matthews and more. Copies can be purchased at www.AutismTomorrow.com for $29.95.
