Book Recomendations -ASD

mommy0411

So I have been doing a lot of research to try and understand DS's diagnosis (PDD-NOS), however I am really overwhelmed with all the information online. I think reading it in a book will be easier for me.

So ASD moms, were there any books that you found helpful right after diagnosis that explained autism well, explained the types of therapy and was overall just helpful in understanding what your child was going through. 

Thank you!

I plan on reading the Out of Sync Child next.

I just finished Carly's voice, it is amazing.  The father wrote a book about living with their autistic child and I learned so much from it.  Mainly a better understanding of how an autistic child feels, and I feel like I understand my son so much better now.

This poem also helped me right after the dx.
