I don't have a child with autism but I do have adult patients with autism and, as a mental health provider, I gained insight and understanding that I didn't have before. The book is set up so well and organized with symptoms of people with autism, but also feelings and emotions that are common for parents with children with autism. She gives real life examples that will resonate with parents, families and friends of those who have autism.

This book was very educational I purchased it because I wanted to become more knowledgable when my cousin would talk about the things she was experiencing with her child who is autistic.This book is very powerful it opens the window for a person to understand some of the hurdles that you experience when you have a child that is autistic. She truly captured the dynamics. Nobody truly knows how a parent feels when they find out that their child has autism. The author opened up and let you see inside of her deepest thoughts.
