pregnant motherIt’s the greatest day of your life: the moment the life force from the depths of your belly finds way into the vast real world. The moment you have longed for is finally here, to actually hold and hug with your arms the little wonder that the universe has granted into your life. But something is different, something you can’t put your finger on.

 

This is the journey for all who have experienced Are We There Yet?, a book that gets to the core of what parents experience in situations just like you. It will be months, maybe years before someone can help you put your finger on it: your beautiful wonderful miracle child has autism.

In a way, it can be a relief – to know that your child is not the “bad seed” or a natural troublemaker. It can be a relief to know that it isn’t a lack of love for you that they admonish those hugs you so desperately want to give them. It is because they simply cannot process such strength of emotion and love as they process data. But the relief is lost with the knowledge that your child will face most things alone, in a world that no one else can quite understand. It’s their world and as their mother or father, you will be their greatest protector, most valued teacher and ultimately their greatest student.

In a compelling account of personal experiences, Are We There Yet? helps parents, grandparents and friends understand that different is not bad. There are ways to learn how to cope, not only for parents, but also for your autistic child. Parents are their children’s biggest advocates and with their undying love and compassion, an autistic child can develop well beyond their social stigma.

Yes! Autistic children can do great things, are capable of great love and have insights into the world most of us would never stop to ponder. It’s all about a viewpoint and when you sit down on the ground and take a look at what they see, you begin to understand. Are We There Yet tells the journey of autistic children but doesn’t stop there. It gives you the insight as their parents to take a breath and start to understand and go on the journey with them!

I have the highest praise for Rebbekah White's new e-book "Are We There Yet? Coming Full Circle with Autism".

This book is a must read for anyone who has an autistic child in their life or anyone who wants to understand what it's like to live on a day-to-day basis with a person with autism.

Rebbekah has done a wonderful job weaving relevant information and research about autism with her (and others) first-hand experience with the disorder.

A wonderfully engaging and informative book and a much needed contribution. Thanks, Rebbekah!

Comments on different section of eBook:

Common traits: My daughter is a mix of traits from both your boys. The anger, frustration, sleep issues and need for physical reassurance and distance.

Diagnosis: Many children are not diagnosed until later in life due to a complete lack of knowledge on the parent's part. My daughter wasn't diagnosed until the age of 7, and yes there were signs, but we didn't recognize them for what they were. My mother, nearly 60, has not been diagnosed yet, but likely has Asberger's syndrome. Again, a complete lack of knowledge and it destroyed her self esteem.

Autism Stereotypes: Thank you for addressing the difference between having Autism and being a Savant while having Autism. My child is not Rain Man, nor is she a complete idiot.
Child and parental law: Thank you so much for pointing out where to send parents new to the world of autism. Knowing what our children legally are allowed to do, be and feel is a huge relief to know.

Jack Julian as written by his mom: Thank you for sharing about your son's agression. My daughter has severe aggression and I am afraid for her and for my family if it should continue. This is not a part of autism that we hear about often and I'm sure there are reasons (fear of exclusion, shame and embarassment), but parents like me need to know about other kids with autism who behave this way.

Eliminating the source - what causes autism? I can't agree more and there are more and more of us who think along this line.Because we obviously cannot find ONE reason that so many of our children have Autism, why are we still fighting about it? I personally cut a young man's hair who was on the lower end of functioning Autism. His mother shared with me how his behaviors changed after getting his immunisations.

A few years later, I find that my own daughter's seemingly irrational behaviors mean she has Autism. However, in our case, she had been this way since birth. Many of their behaviors are the same despite age and gender, yet one was fairly functional at some point before a specific event, the other was never quite functional. You tell me why we should fight about what causes it when we are both dealing with children who act out or (in some cases) don't act at all?

Reading "Are We There Yet" put autism into perspective for me from learning about it in textbooks to understanding what family friends have dealt with for years. While I never held judgment to autistic children, this book helps me have true empathy for the kids and their families.

Thank you Rebbekah, for your compassionate and comprehensive book, “Are We There Yet? Coming Full Circle With Autism”. While my life has not been touched by autism, I have friends and clients who have autistic children and it is a full-time job to care for their children and get them the outside help they need.

I have seen the stress and frustration parents go through because of the confusion that goes along with diagnosis and treatment, and in dealing with the opinions and recommendations of multiple people, many who do not have the personal experience of caring for an autistic child themselves.

This book does a wonderful job of clearing up the myths and misinformation parents are subjected to and gives constructive, practical ways to work with your child and get him or her the help needed.

The real life stories of parents and their children are inspiring and powerful and create a lot of hope in being able to help autistic children even better in the near future.

Rebbekah has written a book that is not only thoroughly researched, but also from extensive personal experience.
