Description
Book SynopsisDr. Tony Attwood and Craig Evans are proud to introduce their first book together. Previously, they brought you “Autism Hangout”, a question-and-answer style video series in which Dr. Tony directly addresses the most pressing questions of those touched by autism. Now, this unstoppable duo has refreshed these conversations and converted them into book form, creating an invaluable resource to keep helpful information present and available to the public. Their goal? Thriving with autism!
