Review: Relatable and Heartwarming - I have only read 8 stories in the book so far but I have already shed tears. The fact that these stories can be so relatable yet ASD is such a wide range is amazing. As a mother with an autistic boy it has been such a struggle as I had him at the young age of 19. He’s now 13 and has come so far. He was diagnosed at the age of 2 and was completely non verbal (he had some words at 1 year but lost them all and would just high pitch scream) it was very hard being a young mom and hearing those words “your son has Autism” I was working as a CNA, I was going to school to become an MA and his dad was working on the road for weeks at a time. I muddled through getting the support I needed for him but it was hard. He went to a developmental school which couldn’t handle his behaviors. He ended up in a school that specializes in Autism and within 8 months he was talking in sentences. I never thought my child would be able to tell me about his day, ride a four wheeler, play soccer and today we are there. All I can say is being the parent of an autistic child is a blessing. He has taught me so many things and has changed my perspective on the world. God knew I needed him. This book is amazing, just to know I am not alone and doing the best I can makes the world of a difference.
Review: It was a great start but - As a mother of a child on the autism spectrum, I appreciate many of the stories but found it somewhat limited. It was a great start but, I would love to read more of the very real and deep peaks and valley's of the autism experience. Maybe, I'll just contact Jack Canfield myself and share my ideas, ha ha. Very heart warming book though, I just thought it left out the more difficult aspects of raising a child on the spectrum which always disappoints me because, there are stories of the most heart wrenching behaviors (e.g., self injurious, perseveration, meltdowns) that children and their families have overcome and could spread hope to many that have none. Overall, the book is pleasant but unrealistic for the majority, I know this because, I am not only a mother, but also a professional advocate for special education. I have seen amazing things happen over time, and would love to start hearing those stories, because for most, the autism experience is anything but light hearted. However, the love and connection that can be found is profound.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Learning You are Not Alone, and Life Goes On
*by L***D on June 18, 2013*

Having a child on the autism spectrum is a shock to any parent. Here those parents tell you how they coped, and how they found hope in dealing with a child who does not fit the usual mold. These parents relate real life experiences with their children and do not gloss over the reality of their child being "different". . If you are a parent of a child on the autism spectrum, you will likely see your own life mirrored here. You will laugh and cry, and most important of all, you will come away knowing you are not alone in dealing with this situation. I recommend this book for parents of children with autism, and their extended family and friends. Family situations are warmly presented. Because this is a collection of many short stories , generally one or two pages long, busy parents can pick up and put down the book as time permits, another plus.
