<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This compilation of stories from around the world offers a helping hand to parents who feel alone and without hope in raising a child with autism. An isolating disorder, autism can take a huge emotional toll on caretaker and diagnosed alike. United in Autism allows readers to recognize their allies in this fight, and that they are not alone.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>A diagnosis of autism can rock a family's world. The toll it takes on everyone involved can be one of isolation; a child who doesn't respond to the world around them, a parent who gives dedication, patience and love - often with no expressible love given back. It's a messy equation with huge emotional and financial costs.<br />As a mother of a daughter with autism, Julie Hornok has experienced her fair share of these parenting challenges, and now brings together thirty inspiring and heartfelt stories from parents raising children from all places on the spectrum and from all corners of the world. These mothers and fathers have experienced some of the worst of what this disorder can do, but in seeking help, they found it...and more. Now they pay it forward by sharing their accounts and giving back to the autism community. <em>United in Autism: Finding Strength inside the Spectrum</em> offers understanding, comfort and hope as well as global allies and strength to those who feel alone.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"<i>United in Autism</i> will give peace, hope, encouragement, and courage to all the parents who are dealing with autistic kids.
