From the foreword by Nancy Getty "K. Bron Johnson has laid out an honest guideline to assist parents and family members who share their lives with an autistic individual. This book will be highly useful for families that are seeking a path of discovery and acceptance in order to achieve a balance within the family unit. It touches on areas of importance within the autistic person's life from a first-person autistic perspective that will allow you to see and experience a viewpoint that may seem foreign, but is real for the autistic person."
