Wit and Wisdom from the Parents of Special Needs Kids
By: Lynn Hudoba
This book is a collection of stories, advice and experience of writers and bloggers raising children with autism and other cognitive disabilities. Each story describes the ups and downs of situations surrounding the life of a child with special needs. While most are written with humorous undertones and a roll with it attitude, the entire collection is meant as encouragement and education.
The stories are written about a wide variety of issues and experiences such as social interactions, school, initial diagnosis, siblings, obsessions, and more. Reading this book fills you with a new outlook and an inside peek of other parents’ lives within the spectrum world.
This book is great for parents and relatives of children with autism and other spectrum disorders as well as educators, caregivers and others who have contact with children who have disabilities.
At the end of each story there is a short writer profile including their website address where you can visit or follow their story and writing further. This aspect of the book is an amazing tool for other parents who are in similar situations. If even to comprehend they are not alone.
I loved this book! It was an excellent read and while most stories were funny and written with light humor and some sarcastic frustration, in the back of my mind I understand the struggle and frustration one goes through before these experiences and situations become funny to them. I understand that this humor is one of those “We are going to laugh at this one day” types of attitude.
I highly recommend this book. Each story or essay is less than two pages and are so inspirational, insightful and encouraging you will find yourself reading through half the book in no time flat.
