DOES JOHNNY HAVE AUTISM? by William G. Bentrim with Trailer

DOES JOHNNY HAVE AUTISM?

 Much has been made about the dramatic increase in autism. Something to note is that autism as a term has been replaced by the expression autistic spectrum. Various disorders have been placed on a spectrum of behavior which has differing levels of impact.

All too often children have been labeled and then the self-fulfilling prophecy aspect occurs when realistic perceptions are clouded by a misplaced label. This book’s goal is to decry the label of autism and to provide a simplistic description of the autistic spectrum suitable for elementary-age children.

If you like the book a review on Amazon or Barnes and Noble would be great!

Once again counselor turned author William Bentrim focuses his experience and compassion on a much misunderstood subject, autism and the overuse of that expression to 'pigeon hole' thousands of youngsters. Using the format of a down to earth and believable conversation between two adolescent boys, Bentrim explores the broad spectrum of autism and exposes the tendency to 'label' kids who are different, usually with tragic and long lasting results. By helping his protagonists understand the strengths (and weaknesses) of their classmate who exhibits some evidence of autistic disorder, Bentrim skillfully demonstrates the differences in severity across the broad spectrum of this condition. Though written at an elementary level to help kids understand the condition, folks of all ages can benefit from this short and relevant story. I certainly did. Kudos to Bill Bentrim for his continued work in educating the rest of us on this and many other issues.
