Autism: Moondance at Midnight (Understanding Autism and Parenting)



" Being called a bad mother shot through my body like a burning bullet, destroying my already precarious psyche. Hurtful, cutting words so profound, so deep, so uncalled for they continue to drift in and out of my conscious mind, haunting me to this very day..." Moondance at Midnight is a raw emotional, and powerful true story. Written beautifully and designed to capture the reader's heart. Every detail has gone into the book to ensure an enjoyable and easy reading experience. Not just a book but something extra special when you really need it. Enjoy!

Amazon Review
... an emotional experience... I found it very powerful and felt that it was important reading for professionals who work with parents and their children (with Autism and/or other challenges). It gave me a strong sense of the isolation and desolation Celia felt, and of her heartbreak, but also of her great joy. I honestly felt that the strength of Celia' s love for her child could be felt on every page. Anita H.

A totally engrossing story which comes from deep within the heart. It brings back memories of my son's earlier years with Autism. The attitude of "professionals" towards parents is daunting and frightening. I had never felt more like a stupid parent... --Alexa B (Parent)

Juscelia is not your everyday author, nor is her book Moondance at Midnight your everyday story.... Beautifully written and spacious Juscelia leaves plenty of room for the reader to join her on the journey. Events unfold and the drama while very real given it's based on the actual events leading to and following the official diagnosis of her autistic son, is discreet. As a reader you are not force fed anything and you come away with an insight into motherhood. Her fluent style and Juscelia's down-to-earth interpretation guide you into her world as she understands autism and how to provide for her beautiful son. --Alison Mooney Whitsunday Times
