Editorial : this is a well-thought-out book which contains much useful advice for helping someone who is having a meltdown, along with tips on how to prepare other people to give you help if you are the person suffering a very useful little book which I suggest anyone who struggles with meltdowns can benefit from reading, especially if you can recommend it to your carers and support workers. -- Asperger United This is a small book packed full of thought provoking anecdotes and observations and with practical and useful ideas and strategies. -- NAPLIC Newsletter This interesting quick read gives a good insight into the mind of an individual with autism when facing a threatening situation.

The medical literature notes that marijuana reduced the tremors and improved mobility of a couple of multiple sclerosis patients.

My only gripe is the author is overfond of silly acronyms and tables that could use better design and any point at all. Technically it is illustrated but only a few pictures. BUT HERE IS MY POINT ARE YOU LISTENING?? SHOW ME THE DOUBLE BLIND STUDY SHOWING THE EFFICACY OF HEAR
