Publisher Description: 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. |
