Publisher's Synopsis
This book was born out of a personal need in my own life. My daughter was born with Down syndrome and I remember how I longed to sit down and talk with someone about all the emotions you experience when receiving a special needs diagnosis. I felt lost and alone and unsure as to how to proceed. Eighteen years later, I offer you solace on your unique special needs journey. Some acquaintances of mine had a preemie born a few years ago and just last year got a new diagnosis that their child was on the Autism spectrum. I sat down and began writing questions with answers I had longed for so many years earlier in my own life. I ask and answer these questions based on my own experiences down in the trenches. These are honest, raw, and real-life questions. Some of the answers will make you laugh out loud, some might make you cry, but they are straight from my heart to yours. I also include 6 Key Strategies for victorious caregiving skills. These are designed to help you today, right now, establish your new normal. The strategies are relevant and practical as you go through your day to day activities. You will be amazed at their simplicity. You will receive grace in the process. This book goes out to all the parents, family members, and caregivers dealing with a loved one with special needs. Read on and God bless you on this journey.
