First and foremost I would like to dedicate this book to the many families and individuals with autism that have inspired the intensive research and treatments presented on these pages. I must also take this opportunity to dedicate this book to my sweet Grandma Joy. I know you would have loved the final product! And of course, a shout of appreciation to my own parents, Carol & Jan, who often have more faith in me than I have in myself! To my children, Rylee and Breelyn, thank you for supporting me as I pursue so many different opportunities. I look forward to returning the favor as you venture, headstrong, into your futures! My heart to you both! And to Craig, who has found me many a night, typing away into the wee hours of the morning, thank you! Thank you for “getting me” in a way that no one else does. I happily pen this dedication to you knowing that you already understand!
