As a professor of brain and cognitive science and the mother of twins born at 24 weeks, I deeply appreciate Dr. Barbera's commitment to serving and empowering scared parents who are looking, not just for answers, but for a roadmap. Dr. Barbera takes parents out of the position of waiting on experts in a broken medical system and gives them the tools they need to begin helping their children now. Turn Autism Around is absolutely essential reading.

Dr. Barbera's book lays out a nice sequence of 'what to do' for a child with autism or signs of autism, presented by someone who really knows what to do. The timing of this book is perfect.

As a parent of a newly diagnosed toddler on the spectrum, I have to say that the advice and strategies in this book have been absolutely life-changing for our family.

This is a must-read for any parent who is concerned about developmental delays in their child.

When my daughter began displaying speech, behavior, and socialization difficulties before the age of 3, I didn't know what to do. I knew something was going wrong with my child, and fortunately, I stumbled across a treatment that helped her. As it turns out, not waiting for a diagnosis was the best thing I could've done. That was lucky. But it shouldn't be about luck. And now, it doesn't have to be! This is the guidebook that I wish I'd had, and that so many parents desperately need.
