This book is about Autism Spectrum Disorder and Asperger Syndrome. Is there something in the back of your mind telling you that your new baby seems a little different than your first, second or third child? Is this your first child, but you see differences in your child and the other children on the playgroup? Maybe you notice something from the first day she is born or shortly after you bring the child home. You can’t put your finger on it. You see one indication here and another trait there. After a battery of test, misdiagnosis, frustration, agitation and aggravation, you are finally told that your child has autism. Then comes the flood of emotions, the guilt, the blaming, the anger and the despair. What do you do? Where do you turn? My objective in this book is to give you some hope and some tools that will make your journey more bearable. The journey may be different for each person, but everyone’s goal is the same, to be the best parent for their child. The following will help to inform you, encourage you and inspire you. Most importantly, you will learn that you are not alone.
