A Lifetime of Laughing and Loving With Autism

A Lifetime of Laughing and Loving With Autism Synopsis

This book will warm your heart and tickle your funny bone! If you know and love a child with autism, you will nod and smile as you read these all-too-familiar anecdotes-the unorthodox adherence to a rule, the social faux pas at the dinner table, the untimely but poignant outburst in the classroom, and many more!

The concept for a Laughing and Loving book was born when R. Wayne Gilpin, founder of Future Horizons, realized how much people enjoyed the heartwarming stories he would share about his son, Alex. Not only did people love his stories, but they would also chime in with their own tales of language misunderstandings and hilarious one-liners. So Wayne compiled dozens of these uplifting, humorous stories from parents and educators all over the world.

This book soulfully communicates the unique qualities that individuals with autism bring to our lives-steadfast determination, unfailing honesty, selfless kindness, seemingly ageless wisdom-and reminds the rest of us that we have a lot to learn!
