A Special Life, A Special Love

About this book

A Special Life, A Special Love follows a parent’s movement from shock, grief, anger, denial, jealousy, and cure-seeking toward acceptance of an autistic child. Combining family narrative with practical discussion of behavior, treatment claims, lifelong care, and special-needs planning, it places non-judgment, impermanence, gratitude, compassion, and attentive love at the center. Its defining claim is that the child is not the problem to be fixed; the parent’s way of seeing and caring is what must change.
