Synopsis

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

In this moving narrative of resilience and pure love, three mothers share their experiences and learnings about life alongside autism -- From the creators of Finding Cooper's Voice, What Color is Monday?, and Tales of an Educated Debutante


Kate Swenson, Adrian Wood and Carrie Cariello are from different parts of the country and backgrounds, but they were brought together by a singular experience: they are each a mother to a child with autism. Together they have shared laughter, tears, victories and the unconditional love that molds their lives.

Kate, Adrian and Carrie have children with very different autism profiles, and in Autism Out Loud they write about their unique experiences, providing a glimpse of what to expect on the autism journey and showing parents that they are not alone. Inside these pages you’ll find stories and lessons on a variety of topics, including:

  • Diagnosis
  • Caregiving
  • Schooling and education
  • Aging
  • Siblings and Family
  • Grief
  • Community
Written with honesty and heart, the stories within these pages serve as a reminder that even amid the storms of life, there is always hope and beauty to be found. A tribute to the unparalleled love of mothers, this inspiring book illuminates the joys, challenges and everyday miracles of life on the spectrum.
