Some positive words about Hidden Brilliance from experts in the field:

“All too often people with ASD—and their families—are viewed through the lens of “deficits” and “red flags.” Without minimizing the challenges encountered in diverse developmental paths, these authors focus on the inherent strengths and unique positive learning styles seen in autistic children. Because of this, the book is an essential read for families, professionals and people with ASD.”

–Stephen Camarata, PhD, Professor of Hearing and Speech Sciences and a Professor of Psychiatry at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine.

“This book does an outstanding job of helping parents recognize the strengths of their children. Since the co-authors are a parent and a skilled therapist, this is a very practical book on how to recognize strengths and help a child with ASD develop social-communication skills and interest in a positive manner.”

–Edwin H Cook Jr MD, UIC Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry, University of Illinois at Chicago
