book review:
As the mother of a ten year old child with autism, it was nice to be able to connect with these mothers as they shared their journey of raising their children. They speak candidly about their experiences, good and bad, and offer invaluable nuggets of information to parents who are navigating in the world of autism. I appreciated their willingness to speak not only about their triumphs, but their frustration and trials as well. I finished the book feeling lighter and less anxious about the road ahead for our family. I would recommend Parenting Across the Autism Spectrum for any one who is touched by autism, not just parents, as this book offers an inside perspective that would benefit extended family and friends.
