Interview with Shantal Stone, author of Pieces To The Puzzle - Mother of an Autistic Son
- last year
ABOUT THE BOOK
Not many shed light on the struggle of an Autism Parent. The highs and lows that come with parenting an Autistic child are far greater than with a child who develops without disabilities. The struggle is real, and so are the emotions these parents feel deep down in their hearts. These emotions are buried and hidden most of the time, and may only be expressed behind locked doors.
The Autism spectrum is broad, and parents are tasked with figuring out ways to push through and be strong. This is a true story of a mother who battles with caring her autism child from both internal and external forces.
