With autism rates increasing faster than ever, it seems that this is a fear that plagues all parents today. Moms worry not only about the causes, but about the diagnosis. Is my child not talking enough? Does her response to my hug seem unusual? The questions go on and on. And despite the reassurances of others, moms know when something just isn’t right. Luckily, this book by Osnat and Philip Teitelbaum can provide some peace of mind.
"Does Your Baby Have Autism" is comprehensive yet easy to read, and gives parents all of the information they need to tell if their child might have autism. This book is part medical information and part advice, and can help you understand what steps you should be taking to help your child. Early diagnosis and treatment can have a huge effect on an autistic child, and being informed and prepared are the best ways to ensure that this early intervention is possible. The guidelines that the authors put forth can be used on babies as young as 3 and 4 months old, and they help you understand what autism is, give you ways to test your baby’s progress, and allow you to reliably detect the warning signs. There is also advice to correct atypical behavior and information you need if it’s necessary to seek help.
This book is a must-read for all parents who are worried about their child’s development, or even parents who just want to get an early start on understanding their child’s growth and progress. Autism is a case in which early detection truly makes a huge difference, and the Teitelbaums go a long way to making that possible.
