“I was there in person when Raun K. Kaufman’s miraculous story began. His full recovery from severe autism—through the Son-Rise Program that his parents developed to reach him—changed my life and the life of my daughter, who showed all the signs of early stage autism. Today she thrives because I knew exactly what to do: ignore all of the dire predictions and immerse her in precisely the principles and techniques described in Autism Breakthrough. I couldn’t recommend this book more enthusiastically…This book turns the all-powerful principle of unconditional love into a practical blueprint that anyone can follow.”
— Wayne Dyer, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Your Erroneous Zones

“The optimism that overflows from Raun Kaufman’s inspiring autobiography is infectious…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. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award. Finalist for the 2015 Audie Award.”

“Kaufman…here offers a practical and upbeat introduction for parents seeking to use the program’s strategies…The most appealing aspect of the author’s approach is the limitless hope he offers to discouraged parents: ‘What your child has done (or not done) up until now tells you nothing about what he can do in the future.’ His personal faith in the program, his warmth, and the targeted application of principles will encourage readers to try his methods even if they are undecided about the supporting evidence.”
