Nick's Mom knew there was something very different about her son. Here is the raw, honest and informative account of her journey through the diagnosis of his severe classic autism - the rather underwhelming world of medical support, some heartbreaking episodes, her avid learning about medications each day and ultimately the power of love that underpins her parenting of young Nicholas. This piece was written by someone who is in a position to speak through her experiences and save other parents from stress, confusion and frustration as they must adapt to raising an autistic child. This true story is not for the fainthearted or those seeking neat, easy messages. This writer is wise far beyond her years, and her extremely difficult circumstances are related with wit, laconic humour, absolute transparency and true grit. Her insights are relevant to readers whose lives are touched by this rather mysterious condition, and who will benefit from witnessing her ballsy, steadfast stance - often parenting on her own. Autism, Are you F*&^ing Serious? Will make a deep impression on all readers, but if you have a child who is "on the spectrum" this book is a godsend.
