Summary: informative first-stop for parents of the newly diagnosed
Comment: Although somewhat dated (the next edition is adding revisions to reflect new information & research), this was an excellent first read when my son was first diagnosed. A friend visited a chat room where the topic was "My child has just been diagnosed with autism. What do I do?" Powers' book was overwhelmingly recommended & it's easy to see why. This is a very comprehensive text giving the good, the bad & the ugly about autism (something the previous reviewer didn't appreciate). Autism isn't a pretty picture but knowledge is power & what you do with it determines your child's future. This is a good start.
Rating: 5
Summary: An invaluable resource
Comment: With the second edition of "Children with Autism", Michael Powers has again provided families of children with autism (along with professionals)an invaluable resource for living with, and loving, a child with autism. In straightforward, non-technical language, "Children with Autism" addresses the needs of persons with autism and their families across their lifespan. From diagnosis, to early intervention, to adulthood we are presented with practical information that, in addtion, has a fairly broad research base. I am on my third copy as I keep lending mine out and, for some reason (perhaps the value of the information contained) they never seem to be retained. Highly recommended.

Summary: A must read
Comment: Dr. Powers has been a major contributor to the understanding of autism spectrum disorders for many years. The ORIGINAL book was one of the few available on the subject at the time of publishing, and while it is NOW outdated, it has been replaced by the current edition published in 2000. This edition contains much useful information that parents will not find elsewhere. I was, therefore, somewhat confused that the reviews for the previous edition are still on this website, as they really describe a different book, which is very misleading.
