De: Diane Mayer Christiansen

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Follow a mother's journey through the twists and turns of autism spectrum disorder. Planet A is a book that gives the reader a glimpse into the behaviors of a child, Jackie Christiansen, on the autism spectrum. It is real and raw dealing with issues of explosive anger, social ineptness and low maturity, all of which can cause complete confusion and low self-esteem. Parenting can be extremely exhausting and getting the outside world to understand can be challenging. Through IEPs (Individual Education Plans) within the school systems to navigating the causes of behaviors the book is laced with emotion ranging from complete frustration to sarcastic humor. Planet A is deep at times and gloomy, but it is also light hearted and silly, just like Jackie. It is a book to share with the hope that Autism Spectrum Disorder will be better understood.
