Incredible Makes me re think so many things that have and are going on in my life, and how ignorant I am when it comes to the realities about most things autism This is a compelling and WOW read for anyone I knew the author, Hannah Brown, from H.S and we re connected recently What a courageous, tenacious, loving, empathic, exhausted yet never leaving one stone unturned to help her child mother, activist, and advocate for all she has becomeKnowing Hannah even just a bit, made reading her book al [...]
Hannah Brown is a fabulous story teller It takes great talent to weave four stands of people s lives into a coherent whole, while maintaining each character s distinctive voice, but that is exactly what she does.While the story line itself entertains, even including the modern requisites of sex and violence, there s way going on here than in a typical novel Brown presents the mystery and reality of autism, which binds together the characters in this story By the book s end, the reader will have [...]
This book was a quick read but also thought provoking concerning issues around autism, its causes and treatments and also how parents cope with the diagnosis If that all sounds a bit too much like a self help book for you, this is very much a novel I enjoyed it tremendously, and I have a relative with autism so I appreciated the insight.
I was actually honored to read the manuscript before this book was published, as it was written by a good friend of mine I look forward to having a copy of this book someday, and to read it again.
This book only covers about a year in the lives of the families, so we don t see much improvement of the children In some ways I felt like this book was much about the family caregivers There was discussion of several different books and treatments The dialogue seemed a bit stilted, but it mostly worked Each family chose a different treatment, except two The therapist working with those two families was working with each of them differently.But as I said, I think this book is about the family c [...]
If I Could Tell You is the story of one year in the lives of four women living in New York City, who are brought together in a support group for parents who have children with autism The novel weaves together the stories of each woman s life with a lot of information about autism, different types of treatment, and what it is like to raise a child with autism The reader is drawn into the marriages, friendships, and daily struggles of the four women who are all trying to do the best they can to gi [...]
Had a hard time reading this, was a bit slow to start As a mom with a child on the spectrum I did find myself getting emotional about the story line at times However, there were several scenes throughout that I felt weren t as relatable, especially how insecure all of the women seemed when it came to their children s therapies We all struggle with insecurities in life, especially as parents and doubly with special needs children but my first instinct as a mom is to protect my kid The parts with [...]
As a reader of non fiction how to books, this was the first novelI have read in over a year Honestly, I could not put it down.I was very impressed by Hannah Brown.It created awareness for me on the subject matter.At times, I was disturbed I smiled, laughed, wept and was even perplexed.And it did what a novel is supposed to do entertain.
This was a bit better than 3 stars but not 4 This novel about a support group for parents with autistic kids is a novel that feels a lot like a non fiction book With this confused identity it didn t quite succeed as either, but it does offer insight into the challenging life of living with an autistic child.
Although the drama between the characters is fictional, the struggles the families endured were real As an educator of students with autism, I thought the techniques the families used to help educate their children with autism were true to life I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to others
Let me start by saying I couldn t even finish this book I tried though, but I just couldn t do it I felt it dragged on and got nowhere and I got confused and mixed up in the various characters and their story.
I just participated in a book club interview with the author She is articulate and passionate about the subject of autism The book captured my attention right from the start The characters are genuine, funny and likeable despite or maybe because of their flaws Loved it.
A friend writes a novel With some trepidation, you begin reading it and discover that it s a very good book.
This is a wonderful book for all parents A great story about different mothers with special need children Heart breaking at times and laugh out loud other times I loved it.
I enjoyed the book and learned a lot Hats off to all parents who deal with children with special needs You are very special.
nothing new nothing helpful or enlightening for me
