In this cross
between Chicken Soup for the Soul and the best of Erma Bombeck, the author, the mother of a young boy with
Asperger Syndrome, gives us a rare
glimpse of the ups and downs of family life with an
individual who has autism
spectrum disorder. From swim meets to
Chinese restaurants, from school to church, to birthday parties, and everything in between, the reader is let into the everyday lives of the Elliott family. At once tender and hilarious, the episodes in the book all illustrate the basic tenet of this charming book - while living with a child with autism spectrum disorder often leads to embarrassing moments, nobody ever needs to be ashamed.
Lisa Elliott enlightens, encourages ... and makes her readers laugh. The brief chapters, categorized under the autism spectrum characteristics they best portray, make great reading for waiting rooms, bus commutes, lunch breaks and other moments when we can leave the world around us for a few moments to refresh ourselves only to return with a more informed, positive attitude.
This book is a must read for parents, family members, educators and others who live and work with individuals who have autism spectrum disorders..
