I have four sons of my own, my two youngest being almost autistic themselves (read my diary entitled MY BOYS AND THEIR BEAUTIFUL AUTISM for more on that) and my highlighter was put to the test during my first, second and third reading of mom's new book.   The overall attitude and narrative make the concrete parenting answers easily grasped, understood and remembered.  

 

The sharing of miracles made and recognized by some of her clients from all over the world, invite a feeling of global understanding regarding autism and parenting in general.    They also remind us to see the miracles when they are made.   So many examples leave few readers and their unique situations feeling left out.   We are all represented in this book, and given concrete tools and understanding.

 

I love this book and sing its praise loudly.   I share with friends, teachers and strangers.   I carry a copy with me at all times and have given it proudly as a gift to struggling parents.   I am working as hard as I can to introduce my mom and her message to the world, proudly learning as she steps on stage, talks on the radio and appears on television.

 

I love this book and recommend it to parents (not just of autism) everywhere.

 

I love my mom and recommend her, too!
