Summary: "Since the original publication in 1978, there has been a tremendous increase in the incidence of autism. In addition, stress and anxiety have now been recognized as major characteristics of autism. To address these changes and to reflect our 40 years of experience teaching relaxation to individuals with autism, we made a number of changes. First, we reworded the title to emphasize autism. Next, based on feedback from teachers and parents who used the original manual, we revised a number of elements in the book, the most significant of which is the addition of problem solving strategies and troubleshooting for each step in the relaxation sequence." - PUBLISHER'S WEBSITE
