So that you don't have to

Recently I've read a few of books so that you don't have to.  

I read the Rabbit Effect.  I found none of the information inside the book to be new to me.  I also found all of the information in the book to be less entertaining to read that most shampoo bottles.  So, feel free to pass on this. 

The Parents Guide to Managing Anxiety in Children with Autism is another book that I would encouraging passing on.  First off, I would hate to think that your mentally ill child believes that you are managing them, so don't put this on the shelf. Secondly, there is nothing in this book that isn't in any book on helping your child with anxiety except vignettes that include an autism diagnosis.  Just skip this book and find something that doesn't make it look like you're trying to manage a kid you don't understand. (If you are trying to manage a kid that you don't understand, I think you need to work on that, not on your kid's anxiety.)

Theodore the Unfortunate Bear the illustrations are lovely, but I encourage skipping this book.  Get a classic that does the same thing without sounding convoluted.
