Media Reviews
Rita Jordan has produced a valuable book which, whilst ostensibly aimed at practitioners whose job involves working with children and adults who have autism, is written in a style clear enough and deep enough to be indispensable to parents or carers. ...a worthy addition to the growing canon of work striving to explore and understand this challenging developmental disparity.
