Synopsis: This is an expansion of the author's book Son-Rise, which appeared in the 1970s. The author recounts how he and his wife learned that their son Raun had autism, how they became disenchanted with the services of professionals, and how they ultimately developed a radical new method for working with their son at home. Rather than attempting to suppress Raun's autistic behaviors, they joined him in twirling objects, rocking, and hand-flapping as a way of relating to him. In this way they were able to build Raun's trust, with astounding results. Kaufman describes several other children who have benefited from this approach.
