1. Sicile-Kira, Chantal. Adolescents on the Autism Spectrum. New York: Penguin Group, 2006
An informative book written by a mother of an autistic teen. This book includes information varying from health risks to useful treatments to self-esteem and self-care issues as well as practical and easy to understand recommendations on how to deal with the day to day issues an autistic child goes through. I am so glad that I purchased this book it is definitely a keeper and is sure to help me through some of the difficult times I am sure to have as my son gets older.
2. Nothbohm, Ellen and Zysk, Veronica. 1001 Great Ideas for Teaching and Raising Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Texas: Future Horizons Inc., 2004
An informative book written by two women who write about Autism professionally in major publications. The book has ideas from everything from potty training to behavior modification to personal hygiene. This book has given me a few ideas, but it is mostly geared towards parents with younger children. I have gotten some good information from this book in matters of behavior modification.
3. Haerle, Tracy. Children with Tourette Syndrome A Parent’s Guide. Maryland: Woodbine House, Inc.1992
This is a handbook written for parents of children and teens with Tourette syndrome. It has information about treatments, academic problems, social problems and a whole section on the educational rights a child with disabilities is entitled to. I found this book very useful. I especially liked the information about academic problems a child with Tourette syndrome may develop.

This is a fine annotated list. But here's a word of caution--be wary of books as old as 1992 with hot-button medical topics. Fifteen years is a long time and the experts may be seeing things differently today than then.
