The title of this book might mislead you to think that it is going to be about how to keep your child with autism on some of those rainy days...this is far from the truth.
It is an extremely well-written, readable and informative book which guides you through the maze of helping your child with autism in many different ways - sensory issues and what you can do to help, visual schedules, learning social issues, language and more. It explains why children with autism struggle and really it does the work of a shelf of books.
I could not put it down and it gave me many ideas to help my son.
I believe it is on the reading list for Relationship Development Intervention (a very good reading list indeed put together by the Gutsteins which can be found at their website, Connections Center.)
Ellen Notbahm who is a co-author of this book also penned "10 Things your Child with Autism wishes you knew". There is a particularly good introduction to the sensory dysfunctions people with autism can struggle with.
Altogether a very encouraging and helpful book well worth a look (I will not be parting with it in a hurry!)
Good luck on your journey, may you find many things to help your little one cope and thrive.

I live in a European country in which Austism is very rare (and unknown to most) and support services and therapies that are common or commonly known in the USA and UK are virtually non-existent. I am always combing the internet for suggestions through websites or books on how to help my son and the title of this book definitely caught my eye. Unfortunately it is a huge disappointment. I did not find any new information and I would say at least 75% of this book is common sense for any parent, let alone a parent of a child with HFA/Asperger's. Social skills tips such as teaching your child to say 'hello' and 'goodbye', 'please' and thank you' at the appropriate times, or using reward systems such as a sticker chart to reinforce behaviors are basic at best. Under "matters of choice" the author suggsts limiting choices to two or three items instead of more than that. Under "meals and mealtimes" the author suggests no thank you tastes if a child is resistant to a certain food and allowing the child to help with meal preparation to encourage interest in mealtimes. The author also suggests "setting up an environment that encourages him to try and succeed". Hmmm. Under this heading suggestions include: allowing the child to learn to make a snack for himself, putting a stool in the kitchen so the child can wash his own hands or put a plate in the sink on his own, allowing the child to move clothes from the washer to the dryer, etc. Well, duh. I possibly might recommend this book to parents who are very new to the HFA/Asperger's diagnosis and have no idea where to begin but if you have any experience at all living with a HFA child (or any child, NT or HFA, for that matter) this book is sure to be a waste of time and money.

this book contains indeed 1001 ideas to help your child cope with daily life, but also ideas that can make a difference in the long term.
some ideas are of a level that i can only hope we will reach with our son, however there are so many ideas in this book that it does not matter. you will always find something, on any subject or for any goal.
the book is positive, upbeat and hands-on, which is also nice for a parent to read, the autism struggle is big enough as it is.
i find this a great book and always have it at hand at home. i can't thank the authors enough for writing it.
