2018 IPPY Gold Medal Award Winner in the Mental/Psychology category. 2017 Best Books Award Winner in the Mental/Psychology category and 2018 Next Generation Indie Book Awards in the Parenting/Family category, "Uniquely Normal: Tapping The Reservoir of Normalcy To Treat Autism". Author Robert J. Bernstein has found a different approach based on cognition thinking in helping people of all ages with ASD. Author's goal is for people with ASD to be able to live in the world and connect with the people in it as themselves, to express their unique humanity and engage more fully in the human interactions that give life meaning and make it worth the effort of getting out of bed every day. Author believes that whatever he does therapeutically must be on the ASD individual's terms; he or she must lead. Author's therapy examples are categorized by age groups of: 2-5 years of age, 6-10 years of age, 11-14 years of age and 19 years of age and up.
BestBookAwards.com winner in the “Health: Psychology and Mental Health” category, and second in the “Parenting” category.
"I got a lot out of this book and I'll be applying much of Robert's wisdom to help my own kids. I can't recommend this book enough. It has something for more or less everyone on the spectrum, at all ages - and those who support them.” &8212;Gavin Bollard, Life with Aspergers blog
“This book is very readable and Bernstein engages readers with his thought processes regarding ways to reach individual children and adults and draw them out into the “real” world. The breadth of case studies enables him to share a wide range of techniques and interventions. It’s easy to see why this book has won a number of publishing awards.” —SEN Magazine
