I am deeply indebted to in-house Skyhorse Publishing editor Joseph Sverchek, without whom I could not possibly have completed this project. I would also like to thank Chantal Sicile-Kira (internationally recognized autism author, advocate, and speaker), Jane Johnson (Managing Director of the Autism Research Institute), Kim Mack-Rosenberg (Vice President National Autism Association, New York Metro Chapter), Cathy Purple Cherry (AIA, LEED-AP, Principal of Purple Cherry Architects), and Teri Arranga (Director of AutismOne) for all their comments and suggestions; they helped bring this project to another level.


And special thanks go to the hundreds of parents, writers, teachers, therapists, doctors, and others whose thoughts, ideas, and words of wisdom are contained in this book.

Conclusion

I just threw 1,001 tips at you. How do you feel? I know there is a lot to consider and sample. Just try and keep things as simple as possible when looking at these tips.
