About This Book

In 2003, Kerry L. Brooks’s son was diagnosed with autism, devastating his family. Their physician offered only two recommendations: prepare their son for a group home, and focus on having other children. Kerry was no medical expert, but he was a determined father and his son’s biggest advocate. Refusing to follow the doctor’s orders, he and his wife continued to search—not for a cure, but for strategies that would help their son reach his highest potential. In Autism 2 Awesome, Kerry shares these strategies and his family’s journey from devastating diagnosis to high school honors graduation. No matter the challenge, every parent can benefit from looking within, trusting their instincts, and most importantly, celebrating every miracle.
