Forever Boy: A Mother's Memoir of Autism and Finding Joy

Product Information

Seems like there is funding for putting up posters and freaking out parents, but no extra funding for support services for all the kids who need it.

There is so much valuable information and insight in it— especially for those with newly diagnosed children or loved ones. With her popular blog, Finding Cooper's Voice , Kate Swenson has provided hope and comfort for hundreds of thousands of parents of children with Autism. They describe it as a long line, with one end being the most severely affected and the other end being less affected.But through hard work, resilience and personal growth, she would come to learn that Cooper wasn’t the one who needed to change. It is hard to think about all the kids who could communicate with an iPad if only they had the opportunity to have one at school. We paid out of pocket for a lot of services that would’ve taken at least a year to get through the bureaucracy. It was apparently just a little too heavy and scary because I outlined the death threats and kidnapping of my child, and I had to go to my kids' schools and show pictures and some very scary things. So the big thing that has happened was one of the big things is you wrote a book that is coming out.

Regardless of whether they end up being right or wrong, the one thing we can’t let them do is destroy our hope. If you don’t already own my book, Turn Autism Around, it is a great chance to support us both and boost the algorithm by purchasing both books and leaving reviews.

Kate lives in America and for the last few years she has been sharing her thoughts on her Facebook page Finding Cooper's Voice, and her blog of the same name. I love it, thank you for putting autism into the words that so many people need to read to understand it just a tiny amount.
