Description
Are you an autism parent? Do you have an autistic family member or friend? Was your child recently diagnosed as ASD or Asperger's? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you may be feeling overwhelmed, depressed and frightened. I'm Paul Nelson, a retired teacher of "special kids" music and an autism dad. My non-verbal autistic son has inspired me to write autism fiction. Now Michael and I have put together our diaries and writings from our autism experiences. This tiny book, A WARM HUG FROM MICHAEL, is a collection of tips for autism family members and friends about some of the lessons Michael has taught me. It also includes some simple non-denominational meditations for dealing with stress and distress from being an autism care giver. As I cared for Michael, I taught music in the public schools here. Since I was an autism dad, I was always assigned the special music classes. I loved teaching all the kids and added to my autism experiences at the same time. Some of the topics covered in this book include:
-Meltdowns and tips on getting through them.
-Food, eating habits and suggestions
-Potty issues
-Dealing with those who just "don't get it"
In addition, the meditations are meant to boost your emotions and confidence.
And much more.
This is a simple little book that I hope will give you strength and comfort, as well as some valuable information about autism. Please check it out, or consider giving it to a friend.This is also a great resource for teachers!
