1,001 Tips for the Parents of Autistic..............

[Guest guest]

Dear Parent:

At Skyhorse Publishing we are striving to become the go-to publisher for

autism-related titles. In addition to Ken Siri and Tony Lyons’s Cutting-Edge

Therapies for Autism, The Autism Cookbook, Dr. Wakfield’s Callous

Disregard, and Kim Stagliano’s memoir, All I Can Handle: I’m No Mother

(November 2010), we’ve got a number of other projects in the pipeline.

Two that we are working on for the fall are 1,001 Tips for the Parents of

Autistic Boys and 1,001 Tips for the Parents of Autistic Girls, which will

be edited and introduced by Ken Siri and Tony Lyons respectively. To that

end, we are busily collecting tips, and would greatly appreciate any help

you can provide.

Attached is a rough topics list and some sample tips. If possible, please

take a look at the materials, choose a topic or two, and provide a brief

tip or two (or more) by email from your experiences (whether personal or

professional) with children with autism. The length of each tip will likely

vary

—many will be a sentence or two, some will be a full paragraph—but none

should exceed 100 words. Gender-neutral tips are great, but if you have any

that are specific to boys or girls, then that is even better. If we use any

tips you provide in either of the books, you will be credited in the book,

if you wish. We cannot offer any monetary compensation but will offer two

complimentary copies of the published book to anyone whose tip(s) are chosen

for inclusion.

Thank you in advance, and if you have any friends, colleagues, or other

associates who might have a tip or two, feel free to pass this along.

Many thanks,

ph Sverchek
