If you’re looking for insights into autism and how to best help a child you know (whether you know or just suspect that they may have an autism spectrum disorder), I urge you to buy the DVD “Healing Autism: A Breakthrough Approach with Kenneth Bock, M.D.”

I purchased this DVD to use during a presentation I was giving on Autism.It really gave my audiance a look into the world of autism. The information presented was accurate and showed characteristics of autistic children from infancy through to adulthood.
