As a former fifth grade teacher I can truly say that is an amazing poem- and I am sure it is inspired by her amazing mom too!

So happy to hear your book is out! Although I’ve been on the autism path almost nine years (with two boys), I am certain I’ll find many wonderful tools to include in my arsenal. Can’t wait to read it!

You nailed it, this reader was most likely at the frustrating point when she is still seeking and failing to find answers that satisfy her questions about her child or her situation. There’s a big difference between those seeking wisdom and/or sage advise and those seeking answers. Perhaps this suggests a preface for the 2nd Edition?

Ditto what Erin said. Your book was one of the first books I read last year, after my 8-year-old son was diagnosed. You helped me through a really rough time, and helped me feel that I wasn’t alone after feeling very alone for a very long time. I will always be grateful for that.

Thanks, Erin! I appreciate the feedback! I think it’s so tough to realize that this is something that has NO definite answers, but lots of directions- and lots of roadblocks…

Oh Claire, that is so not TRUE!! Your book was 1 of the first I used to start researching and using to get to know my child with autism because it was so inclusive AND concise at the same time. Your book is what I use as a barometer for all other books that I reference. It was both informative and personal!!! At the same time! We all know how indivual each of our children can be. I was new and lost and SCARED!! Your book broke so much technical information into such (BOTH) personal and technical information that it gave me a sense of knowledge and security that I can now be confident in perusing other information and KNOW the difference in what applies to me and my child and what is so much hyperbole or fascinaton with the current trend of information. THANK YOU!!!

That sounds a little like what I’m dealing with, but with a 5 year old. We have a treatment that we have great faith will help, its and EEG administered by a psychologist. BUT, its $2000 for 5 weeks and we can’t afford it. Our son already gets a PIR treatment for tics, but to be honest, its his anxiety and behavior stuff that seems to have the most impact on all the rest of us. I’m praying for the day we can afford both treatments. Sometimes I think it would just be easier to medicate him and get us all a little peace, give him some quiet and confidence, but I just don’t feel as though it would really solve the problem. I’m glad I found your blog.

Loved hearing how autism is becoming her strength. I am so hoping for that day for my little one. Great post, and wonderful for your daughter!
