TSB (Trafalgar Square Books) has released the new book
RIDING ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM.

Over the last 15 years, Claudine Pelletier-Milet has worked at her horseback riding stable in France, outside the mainstream debate about autism and its causes, creating a magical world in which her horses and ponies help her autistic students (her “magnificent horsemen,” as she calls them) develop on their own time in a joyful and relaxed atmosphere.

When we read how Pelletier-Milet’s horses open doors to the autistic individual, inviting him into the vast world that surrounds him to discover new sensations and learn to control his emotions and fears, we thought sharing her stories—originally published in the French language and with a French audience in mind—worth translating. We acknowledge that the French school of thought and related research pertaining to autism spectrum disorders (ASD) differs in depth, perception, and terminology from that in the United States and other parts of the world. We are thankful that the United States is a world-leader in advancement of ASD theory and treatment. It is even with these differences in mind that we feel Pelletier-Milet’s personal experiences with autistic children, and the transformation she has witnessed time and again in the saddle, remain a universal source of inspiration and hope, and one that should be shared, regardless of native land or language.
