This book begins with tears and ends with tears. Not the sad pitiful tears- but the large “lump in your throat” inducing kind of tears. I didn’t know anyone else had such a similar experience to me, I didn’t know I was not so incredibly alone. The pages of this book are healing, just simply by the amount of validation that came through the words on the pages. I felt, at many times that I too could have written this book with the amount of similar circumstances the author described. I learned a lot but it really opened my eyes to the fact that I can help make this world more palatable for my son, and myself as his single mama just by simply accepting him as he is and loving him in the best ways I know how especially letting him be HIMSELF.
What this book did not do is give some sort of instructions or road map on “how to improve things”. It’s more a reminder to breathe and that you aren’t alone in this very lonely journey of parenting a adhd/asd child. Very much not a “how-to” book so if you’re looking for that look elsewhere. This book is a short read, I honestly wish it were longer. I’m inspired to try some more social online groups and to love on my son and be his advocate in the best way I can figure out how.
I do have one thing- especially at first that was super off putting about this book and that was the font that was chosen. I about lost my mind when I opened the book to see a silly font- but as I started in on the preface I completely forgot about the authors font choice and decided in the end it didn’t really matter what font choice was chosen. I think that says a lot about how powerful the book is.
