I have a 9.5yo son with Asperger's. It has been a roller coaster journey since he was born. I've read several compilation books about living with a child with autism, but this is BY FAR the most honest, gritty, inspiring, and joy provoking book of its kind. The stories are REAL, and there are SO MANY that the many facets of autism are shown. I nodded my head along with most of them. If you have a child on the autism spectrum, buy this book. It will soothe your soul.

I really liked this book as an alternative to the how-to books. This book is a collection of stories by parents who are touched by autism daily. They talk about how they have had to rethink their future and to focus on what is good about right now. It is not a poor me book but a celebration of coming to terms with the blessings a different outlook brings to everyone.

This book was OK. Some of the stories I had to just skip because the person writing them were so full of themselves. There were only a few stories that I could even slightly relate to though. If your autistic child struggling at their violin recital is your issue then this book is for you. For those of us with moderate-severely autistic children... There's no comfort here.

Very touching stories that will make you laugh, as well as cry. Must read for anyone who's life has been touched by Autism.

Loved this book! It is great to know that others are having some of the same feelings that I am.

I love this book as I can read a few pages while waiting in the car or in line at the school. Lovely heartwarming true life stories of families fighting and finding family love with autism.

My copy is now well worn from being passed around mother to mother.

Enjoy !
