AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
In this moving narrative of resilience and pure love, three mothers share their experiences and learnings about life alongside autism — From the creators of Finding Cooper’s Voice, What Color is Monday?, and Tales of an Educated Debutante
Kate Swenson, Adrian Wood and Carrie Cariello are from different parts of the country and backgrounds, but they were brought together by a singular experience: they are each a mother to a child with autism. Together they have shared laughter, tears, victories and the unconditional love that molds their lives.
Kate, Adrian and Carrie have children with very different autism profiles, and in Autism Out Loud they write about their unique experiences on a variety of topics, from diagnosis to caregiving, schooling and aging. Through their varied stories and lessons they’ve learned, these incredible women provide a glimpse of what to expect on the autism journey and show parents that they are not alone.
Written with honesty and heart, the stories within these pages serve as a reminder that even amid the storms of life, there is always hope and beauty to be found. A tribute to the unparalleled love of mothers, this inspiring book illuminates the joys, challenges and everyday miracles of life on the spectrum.
Autism Out Loud neither sugarcoats the challenges nor frames autism solely as a struggle. Instead, the authors provide a compassionate and nuanced look into family life, offering both realism and hope. Their individual writing styles complement each other beautifully, and together they create a sense of community, not just between themselves, but with the reader.
This book is full of validation, understanding, and solidarity. For those outside that world, it’s an eye-opening and deeply humanizing journey into the lives of families navigating neurodiversity with grace, humor, and fierce love.
