In the world I live in there are so many parents who sit in the shadows and never share what a diagnosis does to change the family dynamic. KT Swenson took a bold step and changed that.
In Forever Boy KT Swenson makes her debut with a moving memoir about how Autism changed a whole family dynamic.
This is a not to miss read. Ms. Swenson did not shy away from the hard topics that a child with dynamic needs can bring into a family. From divorce, specialists blowing Cooper off, to a broken educational system you have a rare window into the lives of what thousands of families go through on a day to day basis.
But the overarching theme of the book is the author's ability to choose joy. She could have quit. But she never stopped looking for resources, support, and people who walked alongside of the family cheering them on.
So pick up a copy of Forever Boy and be prepared to laugh, cry, and learn about a very special little boy and an amazing mother who never took no for an answer.
Happy Reading!
