When a child is diagnosed with autism, the parents'' initial reaction is often one of hopelessness and fear that nothing can be done.

In this book Olga describes the real-world strategies that have made Billy better able to cope with life, reducing his meltdowns and helping him to accept variety and change, and she explains how working with autism''s many strengths has led to a better quality of life for all her family. Full of advice for both day-to-day living and long-term progress, The Dragons of Autism is a positive and inspirational read, with Olga''s deep love for her son evident throughout.
