Emerging from the Trenches: Truths from a mother whose world has been refined by autism. Jennifer Hayword

There is no "one correct way" to get through to an autistic child or to get through the day.

The parents of an autistic child constantly battle for the right to raise their child in the way they know is beneficial for their child. Families have experienced all the emotions: guilt, anxiety, depression, anger, confusion, chaos...but there's also joy, laughter, and a whole bunch of love in the homes with these remarkable children.



There is no right or wrong answer on how you "should" raise your autistic child. There are a ton of outsiders who claim to be experts who bombard parents them with an opinionated agenda when they are really only strangers to the autistic child's world.



Emerging from the Trenches is one mother's experience with her autistic son. Raw, unfiltered, laugh-out-loud funny and always poignant, this is a book that will help any family with an autistic child feel empowered.



Parents of autistic children will realize they are not alone, and everyone who reads this will get a rare and delightful glimpse into the camaraderie within the autistic community rarely seen by outsiders.

With Emerging from the Trenches, you will

-Get educated

-Open your mind

-Stop judging autism so quickly

-Accept and embrace the beauty of autism and what it brings to the grey areas of communities around the world.
