Winner of the Autism Society of America�s Dr. Temple Grandin Award for the Outstanding Literary Work in Autism A groundbreaking book on autism, by one of the world�s leading experts, who portrays autism as a unique way of being human�this is �required reading....Breathtakingly simple and profoundly positive� (Chicago Tribune).Autism therapy typically focuses on ridding individuals of �autistic� symptoms such as difficulties interacting socially, problems in communicating, sensory challenges, and repetitive behavior patterns. Now Dr. Barry M. Prizant offers a new and compelling paradigm: the most successful approaches to autism don�t aim at fixing a person by eliminating symptoms, but rather seeking to understand the individual�s experience and what underlies the behavior. �A must-read for anyone touched by autism... Dr. Prizant�s Uniquely Human is a crucial step in promoting better understanding and a more humane approach� (Associated Press). Instead of classifying �autistic� behaviors as signs of pathology, Dr. Prizant sees them as part of a range of strategies to cope with a world that feels chaotic and overwhelming. Rather than curb these behaviors, it�s better to enhance abilities, build on strengths, and offer supports that will lead to more desirable behavior and a better quality of life. �A remarkable approach to autism....A truly impactful, necessary book� (Kirkus Reviews, starred review), Uniquely Human offers inspiration and practical advice drawn from Dr. Prizant�s four-decade career. It conveys a deep respect for people with autism and their own unique qualities. Filled with humanity and wisdom, Uniquely Human �should reassure parents and caregivers of kids with autism and any other disability that their kids are not broken, but, indeed, special� (Booklist, starred review).
