I finally got around to catching up on some reading. I just finished Louder Than Words by Jenny McCarthy. A very good read and a great perspective on how a parent navigates through learning their son has Epilepsy and Autism. Jenny does a great job of capturing the raw emotions as a parent, particularly a mother goes through upon learning there is something seriously wrong with their child. Jenny walks you though the process all of us who have a child with Autism go through on a daily basis, from being frustrated with doctors who don’t seem to have a clue to the  TSS workers who show us a new side of our child that we thought we would never see. I would highly recommend it to anyone who has a child with Autism. I really enjoyed the raw emotions and honesty of Jenny and it helps make you feel like you are not alone.
