 A friend in a time of need. ( rnaseef )
I wish I had this book over 20 years ago when my son was diagnosed with autism. Giving medications that alter the brain's chemistry to young children is as unthinkable now as it was then. I see this often as parents agonize over this dilemma in my psychology practice. I recommend this book wholeheartedly. It provides a balanced and scientific perspective that often the busy doctor doesn't have the time to do. Dr. Wilens expertise, simply and intelligently stated, provides the information that parents need to make informed decisions. This book can be a friend in a time of need. I am glad we have this book now.
--Robert A. Naseef, Ph.D., author of Special Children, Challenged Parents and co-editor Voices from the Spectrum.
