Sweet, touching, and authentic.
Dive into a heartwarming, touching, and authentic journey through the eyes of a father struggling to understand his son's autism and discovering an unbreakable love.
I'm just an ordinary dad, with a mundane job and mounting debts, until I received my son's diagnosis. My world shook in an instant, and I was forced to grapple with a condition that was entirely unfamiliar to me. As I delved deeper into the world of autism spectrum disorder, I encountered new challenges, from adapting to my son's specific needs to battling stigma and prejudice.
With humor as my tool, I recount how my wife and I faced adversity and how it forever changed our lives. We both learned to navigate his condition, to support him and each other unfailingly, to never give up, to celebrate his small victories, and to find humor even in the toughest situations. We became patient and unwavering pillars of support for our little one. And though it hasn't always been easy, above all, we learned to love him unconditionally.
In this autobiography, I share my story with the world-a real and heartwarming account brimming with love, dedication, and sincerity, shedding light on the journey of parenthood and the quest for acceptance in the world of autism. Hopefully, it will inspire other parents and those who feel lost along the way.
WHAT READERS AROUND THE WORLD HAVE SAID...
"It's not a book you read. It's a book you live; an astral journey. Suddenly, you're lying in bed with the book in your hands, and within 5 minutes, you're in another dimension, getting emotional, touched, bursting into laughter, or angry with life for its unfairness at times..."
"I have no words to describe this book; I've cried, laughed, and been equally moved. It's undoubtedly a book that everyone should read. On one hand, it's a support for families with an autistic child, and on the other, it sensitizes the rest of the population to issues that are fundamental and don't receive the attention they deserve."
"Despite the hardships of living with and alongside autism, Marc Markusen presents a narrative steeped in perseverance and constant challenges. Although emotional ups and downs are evident, he always adds his characteristic touch of irony and sarcasm, as is common in his works of fiction. This prevents his narrative from becoming as overwhelming as it could be in reality."
