I've known a few autistic children and it's heartbreaking and I can see how it would be hard on parents.Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115294023069458287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-83437229351193464752010-12-10T13:33:24.401-05:002010-12-10T13:33:24.401-05:00Susanne,
It really was. There's this one part...Susanne,<br /><br />It really was. There's this one part where she's describing trying to pray in this hotel room while her son sits on a bed and screams because that's all he ever does (he's apparently severely autistic) and how every time she tried to lift up her hands to God she found them clenching into fists. And then how he just went quiet like he does sometimes and she tried to finish her prayers and then he started screaming again and she ripped off her prayer clothes, grabbed him and ran out of the room dressed only in her shift trying to find water to submerge him in (this soothed him and I guess the room didn't have a bath tub), found the pool but it was locked for the night so she climbed over the fence and climbed into the pool with her son.<br /><br />I can't imagine why the next book sounds familiar. :)Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002997517784638068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-29816706848982793872010-12-10T10:14:42.124-05:002010-12-10T10:14:42.124-05:00So glad you shared some of the stories from this b...So glad you shared some of the stories from this book.
