Picking up the fragments autism makes of our once-whole lives is no easy task. It truly is a long way from shattered glass to mosaic, but it can be done. The stories in this book detail one mother's efforts to do just that--to find a way to live, to fully live, with autism. This is a book for parents trying to make useful sense of their child's diagnosis, for family members who are equally devastated and attempting to support their loved ones, for friends, therapists and teachers whose compassion and aid will be greatly enhanced by this glimpse into the daily struggles, emotions, and triumphs of life with autism.

<p>Through 11 study sections, the book offers opportunity for reflection and inspiration through the profoundly powerful Word of God. The study can be done in as many as 55 sessions or as few as 11 allowing your parent group to move through the course at a pace accommodating all of the participants. Climbing on the special needs ride is not a purposeful life plan for most of us. Yet, we still have the choice about how we will experience it. Will we practice behaviors that embrace hope and unfathomable potential, or those that lead to the collapse of our joy, our marriages, and our families? On a roller coaster ride some people are terrified, and some are exhilarated. So the question becomes, 'How do we get from terror to exhilaration?' For me this means finding a stronghold of faith in God. Come along with me for a transformation ride through the Word of God.</p>
