A Long Way from Shattered Glass to Mosaic

Picking up the fragments autism makes of our once-whole lives is no easy task. It truly is a long way from shattered glass to mosaic, but it can be done. The stories in this book detail one mother's efforts to do just that--to find a way to live, to fully live, with autism. This is a book for parents trying to make useful sense of their child's diagnosis, for family members who are equally devastated and attempting to support their loved ones, for friends, therapists and teachers whose compassion and aid will be greatly enhanced by this glimpse into the daily struggles, emotions, and triumphs of life with autism.
