The Accidental Teacher: Life Lessons from my Silent Son (Paperback)
by Annie Lubliner Lehmann

A child teaches without intending to . . . . Having severe autism does not stop the author's son from teaching her some of life's most valuable lessons. "The Accidental Teacher" is a heartfelt memoir about self-discovery rather than illness and uses insight and humor to weave a tale rich with kitchen table wisdom. This book is a must-read for anyone who has been personally touched by a major life challenge.

Moondance at Midnight by Juscelia

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. (Occupational Therapist 28 years experience working with children and families with Autism and other challenges.) --Anita H. Occupational Therapist

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

Autism: Recovery Against All Odds by Kristi Chrysler

Autism: Recovery Against All Odds by Kristi Chrysler

Book By N. Texas Mom Details Son's Autism Recovery

NORTH TEXAS (CBS 11 / TXA 21)It was a diagnosis that a Burleson mother just wouldn't accept. Doctors said her five-year-old son was so severely Autistic, that she should send him to an institution. Today that son is 12-years-old and, according to his doctors, shows no signs of the disorder.

Kristi Chrysler is a single mother who has had her share of challenges raising a family. Her son, Richie, began to regress in his abilities at 12 months. It took nearly four years for doctors to diagnose Richie with Autism. By then, the signs were unmistakable. "He was very aggressive, he had major breakdowns, 10 times a day," explained Chrysler. "Each one could last from 10 minutes to 60 minutes where I would have to hold him to prevent him from banging his head, hurting himself or running after and hurting someone else."

Doctors told Chrysler there was no hope for Richie. "Every night, I'd put him to bed and sit there and he'd have to rub my arm to fall asleep and I'd sit there with tears streaming down my face just thinking, 'Who in an institution is going to do this for him?'"
