Paula Gallay, a speech language pathologist, writes about raising her son with high-functioning autism. She writes in her personal perspective, the challenges, her thought processes and the effective solutions/interventions she implemented with her son. She relates being excluded by friends and community members, but rises above the difficulties to raise her son and build a rewarding family life. Part memoir, part therapy ideas, this book offers hope and practical advice to parents of children with autism, and parents searching for a diagnosis for their child. Chapters cover therapy tools & ideas, diagnosis, school & advocacy, family & personal life and adolescence. Timely and down-to-earth, many families and professionals need to hear this encouragement as they raise or work with children with autism.
