More books!

[Carolyn Chaney]

Here are some more of our favorite books, with child communication themes.
I added THINKING IN PICTURES, which I am reading right now.  Although
written by an adult, Grandin does comment on her early life and
education...and the things that were most helpful to her in her struggle
with Autism.

Remember, I haven't screened these books, so read at your own risk!

And if you get another idea, please send it to me and I'll update the
list.
