 “Lost in the landscape of ASD, PDD, ADHD and a jungle of other labels for children’s problems? The best path favors not labels but logical questions shared by practitioner and parent.

This book guides you among the options and up the steps of that path with clarity, precision, wisdom and wit.”  Sidney M.
