You Karen, have opened the door for many who face similar problems of understanding and I commend your efforts. On behalf of Strathcona County Council, I extend to you my sincere congratulations and appreciation for all that has been accomplished in this community and beyond.

Vern Hartwell

Mayor Strathcona County

A parent has written this book. A parent who has found the necessary strength and passion to nurture her child within a world, which is often uncomprehending. When a child has this kind of support at home, there is no limit to their life. Thank you for a book, which helps those living with autism, speak to their world.
