How to Handle Kids With Disabilities: Practical and effective guide on how to raise kids with disabilities (ADHD, OCD, Autism); what parents really need to know.
"Has your kid been diagnosed with a handicap of any kind? Do you get the feeling that everything in your formerly steady world has crumbled? I know, I've been there too.You know your child needs you now more than ever because, as they get adjusted to life on the spectrum, they will board a roller coaster that they are undoubtedly too young to ride by themselves. You feel a conflict between the parent you previously pictured and the parent you need to be right now. Very likely, you are concerned about your child's future. Nonetheless, all your concerns still apply to the present. Raising a child with one or more disabilities can be challenging, especially in the early years after diagnosis."

Guide To Parenting Children With Autism
"Perhaps you have been tagged as a bad parent who doesn't know how to raise or discipline your kids. Is your child or teen being bullied at school because their Autism makes it difficult for them to blend into society. Are you a parent of a child with ADHD who has no idea what they're doing and has no concept of what you can do to help your child have a bright future? With over 5 million autistic children in the United States alone, your story is not unique; millions of other parents endure the same difficulties. Regular rule-making and home routines become very impossible to follow when raising a child with ADHD. While coping with ADHD-related behaviours is difficult, one can only picture what their child is going through... making things more difficult for parents."
