As a boy, Raun Kaufman was diagnosed by multiple experts as severely autistic, with an IQ below 30, and destined to spend his life in an institution. Years later, Raun graduated with a degree in biomedical ethics from Brown University and has become a passionate and articulate autism expert and educator with no trace of his former condition.


Thanks to the Son-Rise Program, a revolutionary method created by his parents, Raun experienced a full recovery from autism. In Autism Breakthrough, Raun presents the ground-breaking principles behind the program that helped him and thousands of other families with special children. Parents and educators learn how to enable their children to create meaningful, caring relationships, vastly expand their communications, and to participate successfully in the world.

      The optimism that overflows from Raun Kaufman's inspiring autobiography is infectious. Kaufman's parents were told that their son had autism and an IQ of 30, and would never function in society. Instead, they defied the experts by focusing on freeing the gifted boy who was trapped by his diagnoses. Kaufman's parents' technique, called the "Son-Rise Program," converted their son into an educator with a biomedical ethics degree from Brown University with no symptoms of his former condition. The audiobook highlights the Kaufmans' efforts, which approach autism as a "social-relational" disorder, not a behavioral one. 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. D.J.S.
