Written as a personal memoir, the book also contains summaries of key strategies of issues like bringing a child to a holiday gathering successfully; navigating school issues; taking family vacations; learning to connect and accept; what to do for siblings; how to get through the most terrible phases autism can bring; and even how to allow each of us have his own important, unique place in the family.
With a moving and compelling narrative, and summaries of key strategies, the book describes how to get through the early days of grieving, how to keep a marriage strong, what to do for siblings, how to deal with the school system, and how to have fun as a family with autism.

“Over the years my husband and I struggled to understand our son and we have learned a lot about what works and what does not, and how to adapt approaches so that they fit into a busy homelife. Above all, we have learned how to be a family, with two other, non-autistic boys as well. Nat, now 21, is a viable part of our family though by no means is he easy to know or understand. Nor is he cured of autism. Yet he is a wonderful addition to the family and we have goals and dreams for him as we do for our other two sons. We have a connection to Nat that we work to nurture, that is one part hope and faith, and one part pure effort and love.” Susan Senator
