There is a place deep in your soul that aches when you realize that there is something not quite right with your child. “Not quite right” is not necessarily a bad thing; it’s just something different than what you may have imagined. This book will take you along our journey with autism—from the beginning of acceptance to the amazing, self-directed life that can be achieved. My goal is to encourage parents and caregivers of children with special needs to see that there is hope and a future full of wonderful opportunities. My son, who was once unable to make eye contact and was completely nonverbal and incapable of making minor transitions, has become a loving, verbal, and smart individual with a great sense of humor. He plays Beethoven and Bach on his baby grand piano; dances the waltz, tango, and salsa at his ballroom-dance lessons; and enjoys hip-hop and playing the drums and the guitar. All his banging on metal chairs and slides as a little boy certainly has paid off. Once you can zone in on your child’s gifts and abilities, the sky’s the limit.I have included a variety of tools that have been monumental in teaching and encouraging Jake to be his absolute best—calendars, food charts, therapies, and so much more.God has given me the grace to raise two amazing children and the motivation to write this book. It hasn’t been easy, but I will share as much as I can of what I’ve learned in order to make other people’s lives easier. I hope this book will reach many.For every book purchased, a portion of proceeds willbe made to Autism Research, Education or Awareness
