From the Cover:

We’re a family of sensory seekers and avoiders, of quiet people and loud ones, with boy and girl autistic children. We’ve lived in the city and in the country. We’ve been verbal and nonverbal. We know what it’s like to look for help and not find a resource, so we’ve made this one to help others.

Our experiences will equip you to ask better questions and build your confidence and knowledge base so that you can continue to discover strategies for thriving that work for you and your family.
