Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“I was there in person when Raun K. Kaufman’s miraculous story began. His full recovery from severe autism—through the Son-Rise Program that his parents developed to reach him—changed my life and the life of my daughter, who showed all the signs of early stage autism. Today she thrives because I knew exactly what to do: ignore all of the dire predictions and immerse her in precisely the principles and techniques described in Autism Breakthrough. I couldn’t recommend this book more enthusiastically…This book turns the all-powerful principle of unconditional love into a practical blueprint that anyone can follow.” —Wayne Dyer, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Your Erroneous Zones
“The optimism that overflows from Raun Kaufman’s inspiring autobiography is infectious…Raun explains how his parents’ program freed him and countless others and allowed them to live normal lives. Kaufman’s story is inspiring, and his performance adds an exclamation point to it. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award. Finalist for the 2015 Audie Award.” —AudioFile
“Kaufman…here offers a practical and upbeat introduction for parents seeking to use the program’s strategies…The most appealing aspect of the author’s approach is the limitless hope he offers to discouraged parents: ‘What your child has done (or not done) up until now tells you nothing about what he can do in the future.’ His personal faith in the program, his warmth, and the targeted application of principles will encourage readers to try his methods even if they are undecided about the supporting evidence.” —Publishers Weeky
“Now grown and apparently recovered from autism, the author mingles his own story with the guidance he offers in this book…His experience is one that will bring confidence to families new to their diagnosis or who may be struggling to find hope.” —Library Journal
“An innovative, alternative approach to creating a child-centered environment that directly empowers parents and caregivers.” —Kirkus Reviews
“I learned more about my daughter by reading this book than I have through all of the others I’ve read over the eleven years since her diagnosis. If you’re a parent of a child with autism, this book truly is a must-read…No matter how old your child is, Autism Breakthrough can help you to connect with them in ways you may have never thought possible.” —Wendy Fournier, president, National Autism Association
“Autism Breakthrough not only provides the reader with clear techniques and documents amazing clinical outcomes, it is a testament to the impact of hope, love and acceptance in our lives! I personally see applications of the principles in all clinical endeavors.” —Ted McCarthy, MD, former chief of psychiatry, Mercy Hospital
“Autism Breakthrough is an amazing resource to help you right here and right now to make a huge difference in your child’s progress.” —Kristin Selby Gonzalez, president, Autism Hope Alliance
Limitless hope . . . his personal faith in the program, his warmth, and the targeted application of principles will encourage readers to try his methods. —Publishers Weekly
