"Reading Autism Breakthrough brought chills to my body and tears of joy to my soul. This book must be read by every parent of a child with autism who wants a step-by-step plan to reach and transform their child. I was there in person when Raun K. Kaufman's miraculous story began.
"His full recovery from severe autism -- through The Son-Rise Program that his parents developed to reach him -- changed my life and the life of my daughter, who showed all the signs of early stage autism. Today she thrives because I knew exactly what to do: ignore all of the dire predictions and immerse her in precisely the principles and techniques described in Autism Breakthrough.
"I couldn't recommend this book more enthusiastically - not only for those who love a child or adult with challenges, but for all parents and professionals. This book turns the all-powerful principle of unconditional love into a practical blueprint that anyone can follow."
---Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, #1 NYT bestselling author
of The Power of Intention and thirty other books.
My own introduction to autism came in the 1970s by way of a small paperback book entitled Son Rise. This remarkable book tells the story of two parents who were determined to save their son from a condition they did not understand. Going against advice and working tirelessly they began to see small successes. Son Rise is the story of Raun K. Kaufman and is a book I've never forgotten.
Today St Martin's Press (and NetGalley) offered me the chance to read Autism Breakthrough written by that little boy I first learned about in the mid 70s. Raun's story is an important one that shares "the ground-breaking principles behind the program that helped him, and thousands of other families with special children. Kaufman explains that autism is frequently misunderstood as a behavioral disorder when in fact it is a social relational disorder. He explains what it feels like to be autistic, and shows how and why The Son-Rise program, which focuses on the parent-child connection, works. And he offers clear, practical strategies for working with children that readers can apply immediately—in some cases, parents see a change in their children in as little as one day. Autism Breakthrough makes available for the first time in book form the principles and practical applications of The Son-Rise program, presented by someone who not only teaches the program, but has experienced the joy of it in his own life."
Review forthcoming.
