"This book, written by the mother of three children on the autism spectrum, targets the major issues families face in creating a comfortable environment for every family member.  With a balance of heart-warming and side-splitting humor the author presents countless practical tools for dealing with everything from home-school relations to organization to just getting through a trip to the grocery store.  This insightful, easy-to-read book is a must-read for anyone who has ever felt alone in the daily challenges of parenting a child on the spectrum.  The author brings you into her life of chaos and love and makes you feel like you have found a friend who has been there too.
