About the Author
Philip Abrams is a father, husband, behaviorist, actor, and writer. A graduate of UC Berkeley, he has a masters in special education from National University in Los Angeles. Phil served as a technical advisor for autism on an episode of the The District and has also created a script about an autistic young man’s journey―the way he perceives the world differently, and how that difference changes others’ perceptions. It is his hope to see it brought to life on television.
Leslie Henriques, MPH, was a graduate of UC Berkeley. She received her masters of public health degree from the University of Hawaii, Manoa. Leslie lived in Berkeley, California, with her husband, Ray Riegert, and two children, Alice and Keith. Her nephew Elijah Abrams inspired her to publish books that empower parents of children with autism.
Lorna Wing, MD, an internationally recognized medical authority, has been studying autism for over three decades years. She is also the mother of an autistic daughter. Her work with autistic children in the 1970s redefined the classic profile of autism and helped create the concept of autistic spectrum disorders. Throughout her career, Dr. Wing has developed practical and constructive ways for parents to cope with the wide range of difficulties experienced by families caring for autistic children. She is the psychiatric consultant for the National Autistic Society in the United Kingdom and her numerous books and papers have been translated into several languages. She lives in East Sussex, England.

Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
