The Scenic Route : Embracing the Detours, Roadblocks, and Unexpected Joys of Raising an Autistic Child
Reflections on autism, parenting, and embracing destinations unknown. In The Scenic Route , Leigh Merryday Porchoffers insight into how parents of children with autism can redefine hope in a world that often has a narrow view of what hope is supposed to look like for their kids.As an educator and expert on autism spectrum disorders as well as the mother of a son who is autistic, Porch knows well the pressure parents of special needs children feel to overcome any and all challenges their children face. But not all disabilities result in heartwarming viral stories. According to Porch, we must write our own stories about what is possible for our kids and love them just as they are. A chronicle of one family's journey from the shock and uncertainty of a severe autism diagnosis to acceptance and advocacy, in this beautifully written book Porch sharesthe lessons she has learned about charting your own course.From learning to cope with sleepless, worry-filled nights to asking friends and family for the help and support you actually need, she offers readers a road map for helping our children thrive while still taking the time to stop and enjoy the beauty in life'sunforeseen detours.
