So far, I have published two books having to do with autism:\u00a0 Making Peace With Autism<\/a>, and The Autism Mom’s Survival Guide<\/a>.\u00a0 and one novel that features a deeply autistic character:\u00a0 Dirt, A Story About Gardening, Mothering, and Other Messy Business<\/a>.\u00a0 It is my very biased but honest belief that these books would make excellent holiday gifts. Making Peace<\/em> is good for those beginning to come out of the haze of diagnosis, who are trying to regroup and reconfigure their family life with autism in the mix. The Survival Guide<\/em> is good for those starting out, needing to figure out how they can still be whole people in their own right, how to have fun, how to look at this huge thing called autism.<\/p>\n

Dirt<\/em> is a novel, my latest book, and it is a story of a suburban family of five affected by autism as well as other issues — divorce, drug abuse, sibling rivalry, infidelity. The characters intersect intensely, including the highly autistic oldest son, Nick.\u00a0 He is barely verbal but he is a full character in the book nevertheless.\u00a0 Dirt<\/em> is a fun and thought-provoking read and a good gift for anyone who like contemporary family novels. Good for gardeners and families alike!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
