The signs of autism are not quite as obvious as the general public may think. This book is designed to provide information parents and anyone affected by autism or related pervasive developmental disorders. There is also information regarding screening tests so parents have an idea of what to expect. The book is designed to encourage families to seek support by working with other families who are having similar experiences with autism. Support services for siblings as well as caregivers are really important in the whole family unit. It is important that every family member becomes involved with the autistic child's treatment. The family unit is the core of any treatment plan. Included in the text is a collection of tips that I hope will be useful. Hopefully, application of the various tips can be used in home, school and community settings. The book is designed as a practical guide for parents to follow. Over the years, I have learned a lot about autism and related pervasive developmental disorders. No matter how much research I do, no information is more valuable than that that I have learned from my clients. I hope that parents, family members and professionals working in the field of autism look to their children as our greatest instructors.

A vacation home rental allows us to briefly become "locals" rather than tourists. We tend to slow down our pace and experience more of the lifestyles of our destination. A vacation rental is a good base for exploring the immediate area, venturing forth on entertaining and educational day trips knowing we will be returning to the luxury and privacy of "home" at night. Invariably, we meet interesting people in neighborhood markets and sidewalk cafes that we might not encounter in a traditional hotel setting and some of these acquaintances become friends. One of the greatest pleasures about travel writing is the opportunity to share travel discoveries and unique travel experiences.

The merit of my book comes from the very fact that I'm a relative beginner in the business. I'm the rookie whose struggles are still fresh in her mind and whose enthusiasm remains undimmed. These pages don't contain a complete philosophy or method, but practical tips that you can consume. If you're a beginner, this book provides encouragement, motivation, and a wealth of information. If you're more advanced, you'll discover some new angles amongst the usual advice. This book is the result of the risks I've taken in my journey to become a screenwriter. May it help you learn and prosper as you blaze your own path.

I've had the honor and opportunity to develop health improvement programs for Fortune 100 companies, for health plans and health systems, for communities and coalitions. At the end of the day, the basic fact is this: people make the ultimate decision for their health. Each person is the ultimate health care consumer, and each makes the consumer decision one step, one purchase at a time. That's why I wrote this book. It teaches that each one of us is responsible for our health and the amount of money it costs to maintain our health. By taking simple, but profound steps, each of us can become better at managing our health.

On a daily basis, I work with the parents of these amazingly resilient, bright, and high spirited children-children that have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder. Their enthusiasm for practically everything that flashes across their quicksilver minds is endearing. What can be exasperating to parents and teachers alike, is some of the "challenging behaviors" that many of these children exhibit. Someone once said that "diagnosis isn't destiny." I agree. This is why I teach parents and teachers' strategies and techniques for creating an orderly, structured environment that will make sense to the child. What the parent adds is a sense of place, a sense of belonging, and unconditional love. Separating a child's behavior from the child is an important first step.

Addiction is a life-threatening illness that is both under-researched and often misunderstood. It is my intention in writing this book that those persons who are confused about addiction and/or how to seek help will gain knowledge and comfort. I also intend this book for the multitudes of healthcare professionals who are looking for a place to begin the process of understanding their clients. It is also my hope that after reading this book, those same people will seek out additional resources that have been suggested throughout the text.
