Good Things to Know (2010) by Chantal Sicile-Kira

Every year, 1 in every 100 children in America are diagnosed with autism. Although autism has reached epidemic proportions, it is far from understood. In 41 Things To Know About Autism, Chantal Sicile-Kira provides a clear, instructive explanation of autism. If you know someone with autism and would benefit from a quick, straightforward explanation of the condition, this book is for you. It explores questions such as:

• What are the causes of autism? Can vaccines cause autism?
• How can I recognize the symptoms of autism?
• What are the emotional effects of autism on the family?
• Why do children and teens with autism act the way they do?

Chantal Sicile-Kira is an autism advocate and award-winning author of Autism Spectrum Disorders, Adolescents on the Autism Spectrum, and Autism Life Skills. Sicile-Kira lives in California with her family, who has been featured in the MTV documentary “True Life” series and the Newsweek cover story “Growing Up with Autism.”
