Jed describes motivational techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, exercises, relaxation and mindfulness guides to lower anxiety to the point where individuals can begin to confront their fears . The book covers: simple phobias, social phobia, selective mutism, separation anxiety and school refusal, panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, somatic symptom disorder and/or illness anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, perfectionism, and other common fears.

The digital world of cell phones and other Internet devices offers a wonderful way to communicate, yet it is also rife with dangers of being victimized emotionally, physically, and financially. No More Victims addresses three areas of concern: cyber bullying, online sexual predators, and Internet scams. Individuals on the autism spectrum may be particularly susceptible to such victimization because of challenges with perspective taking, isolation and increased time online, and difficulty with assertive communication skills. No More Victims describes ways to prevent all three forms of cyber abuse.
