Robert J. Bernstein has been treating children on the autism spectrum for more than 30 years. He consults for numerous organizations, including the National Council on Alcoholism and Other Drug Dependencies, and was publicly acclaimed for pioneering table tennis as a means to facilitate social interaction among young people with autism. His work with a previously nonverbal child whom he helped learn to speak was documented in the New York Times. He has appeared on Dateline NBC and national radio; hosted "Educating Your Child," a call-in radio show; and conducted dozens of seminars and presentations, including "First Responders and Individuals with Autism: Averting Crises and Preventing Disastrous Consequences," the first conference of its kind in Westchester.

"I got a lot out of this book and I'll be applying much of Robert's
wisdom to help my own kids. I can't recommend this book enough. It
has something for more or less everyone on the spectrum, at all
ages - and those who support them.” &8212;Gavin Bollard, Life
with Aspergers blog
“This book is very readable and Bernstein engages readers with his
thought processes regarding ways to reach individual children and
adults and draw them out into the “real” world. The breadth of case
studies enables him to share a wide range of techniques and
interventions. It’s easy to see why this book has won a number of
publishing awards.” —SEN Magazine
