Autism: Simple And Inexpensive Natural Autism Therapies To Help Your Autistic Child Live A Calm And Healthy Life (Autism, Aspergers Syndrome, ADHD, ... Music Therapy, Natural Therapy, Aromatherapy) Paperback – May 25, 2016

The author is a proponent of natural therapies to relieve stress and anxiety. She has used them to treat her own diabetes for years and has written how to employ them to assist in the treatment of autism. In this book, Perez provides an overview of the autism spectrum. While there is a myriad of symptoms and behaviors, all autistic children suffer from communication and socialization issues. Autism appears to have connections with both genetics and the environment.The heart of the book deals with treatments. While many patients diagnosed with autism require some sort of medication, Perez focuses on more natural treatments. A definite diagnosis is often not made until after age five, but early intervention is important to address a child's needs. Speech, physical and occupational therapy may be needed as well as special education to address cognition. Depending on the issues the individual faces, music therapy, art therapy, animal therapy, nature therapy, and swing therapy, might be effective interventions. I found the discussion of using horses (hippotherapy) to help a child process sensory movements enlightening. Simpler steps that can be implemented easily in the home include removing chemical products, messaging the child, experimenting with dietary needs, and introducing yoga. Learning each child's preferences and needs is the most difficult aspect of living and working with a child on the autistic spectrum.As an educator who has worked as a member of an interdisciplinary team treating autistic children, I would definitely recommend this book to parents and educators who are new to the field of autism as an easy to read introduction to the subject.

I absolutely love this book and i'm happy that i took the time to read it. Autism is a real issue and people need to learn how to deal with it and learn how to help out or take care of someone that is actually dealing with Autism. If you don't understand or you've never heard of Autism, i would recommend this book to you. The book is full of useful therapies that might help out your child or anyone dealing with this, because it can help your child live a better, happier and a much calmer life.

Helpful tips for alternative therapies, other than medication, which may work to assist autistic children. I learned about hippotherapy and swing therapy, two things which I'd not heard of previously. Would be a useful read for parents of autistic children or teachers of autistic children.

This book doesn't delve very deep into what causes autism or how it affect children, but what is does VERY well is offer different types of therapy. There are numerous therapies out there that can offer assistance and help autistic children, I just didn't know about most of them. This book helped bring to light the different options and was very helpful.

This is more of a pamphlet. I thought it would have more information about the different therapies. It is good to have a list of possible therapies but the information is far too general and inf can be googled or gleaned from autism sights.

Nancy did a nice job on this book. It was very informative and contained different approaches with autism. I never thought of using aroma or music therapy until reading this book.

Autism: Simple And Inexpensive Natural Therapies to help your autistic child is one of the greatest book on natural therapies for Autism I have read so far. These natural therapies can be used to manage every symptoms of Autism in your child. Get to read it because it is going to help you.
