Get Out, Explore, and Have Fun!


Getting out into the community is a "given" for many families. But for families whose lives are touched with autism, it can be very difficult to do. Worrying about a child's behavior or reaction to specific sights, sounds, smells, etc. can make a pleasurable outing much more work than fun. Get out, explore, and have fun!: How families of children with autism or asperger syndrome can get the most out of community activities can help.

Author Lisa Jo Rudy is a mom of a child with autism and knows the topic well. The book is a guide to what's out there, how to find it, and how to make it work for your family. The no-nonsense style and "you can do it" attitude will win families over and give them the hope to go out and try things on their own.
