| Summary |
When Liane's son Mickey was first diagnosed with autism, she blamed herself. Two decades later, older and wiser, she reaches out to other families with this candid memoir. Sometimes heart-wrenching, often funny, but always honest, it is an eye-opening example of how a family learned not just to survive, but to thrive with autism. How do you create an ordinary family life, while dealing with the extraordinary needs of an autistic child?Meet Mickey - charming, funny, compassionate, and autistic. In this unflinching portrait of family life, Liane Kupferberg Carter gives us a mother's insight into what really goes on in the two decades after diagnosis. From the double-blow of a subsequent epilepsy diagnosis, to bullying and Bar Mitzvahs, Mickey's struggles and triumphs along the road to adulthood are honestly detailed to show how one family learned to grow and thrive with autism. |
