Great resource to help guide through the emotional roller coaster of raising a child with special needs. The layout is incredible and easy to find a particular area as needed more information. Lots of perspectives from parents, educators, family, friends, etc. Highly recommend!" - Karissa - Teacher of Children w/ Autism One of the greatest frustrations for a parent of children with autism is when a well-meaning individual says, "Oh I have an autistic (insert familiar or friend relationship). All you have to do is (insert advice)." People with autism spectrum disorders are not carbon-copies of one another; every individual is different. While writing this book, I worked with dozens of parents and educators who live and/or work with individuals with autism on a daily basis in an attempt to show how different autism can be for each family.  Every family should be seen for who they are, not for who someone else thinks they should be.
