Autism Is Not Hopeless but Families Need Your Support
Raising children with autism can be difficult. Families often experience isolation and the sense that old friends and relatives don’t understand what they are going through.
There is hope. One mother’s journey to hope is detailed in Helena Hjalmarsson’s inspirational Finding Lina: A Mother’s Journey from Autism to Hope. People with autism and their families often become remarkable survivors and learn to thrive. Many people with autism lead productive lives. People not affected by autism can offer support in dozens of ways, ranging from volunteering to offering an understanding smile. Mary Romaniec and Anjou Usman provide families with guideposts to success in Victory Over Autism: Practical Steps and Wisdom toward Recovery for the Whole Family.
