RAISING A CHILD WITH AUTISM

Autism affects 1-in-68 American children, so when Tim and Melissa Fountain received the news that their Joey was the one, they looked to their poor gardening skills for guidance. Autism is a profound neurological disorder that impacts language, self-care, and social skills. Coupled with each person s unique individuality, parenting an autistic child can be doubly difficult. For Tim and Melissa, watching Joey act out reminded them of wilted flowers among strong weeds -- which to pull, which to water? The Fountains reworked, replanted, and reseeded in hopes Joey would bloom into his normal self. � Raising a Child with Autism�provides parents of disabled children tips and techniques, hope and encouragement, in thoughtful, easy-to-understand ways. � Learn how to apply family love, spiritual wisdom, and strength as you grow your autistic child from a bud to bloom. While you weave your way through the weeds of a disability, you may realize, as the Fountains learned, that no one is ever truly prepared to manage a disability, but you can, with love and faithfulness, grow great kids!_,
