Overview
Mary Ann Puckett's book addresses the question that so many parents of children with autism are asking, "Who will be there to care for my child when I am gone?" The unfortunate reality is that as caregivers and parents are aging out, this becomes a major issue that society is facing due to the increasing number of children and adults who are being diagnosed on the spectrum. Her book also describes how vaccines, which contain toxins such as mercury, reportedly play a role in the exponentially growing number of children who now have autism. Due to her many years of experience, Mary Ann makes suggestions in her book of therapies and natural treatments that can be helpful for parents as they face the daily challenges and hurdles on their journey with autism. The book is a must read for not only parents and caregivers, but also teachers, doctors, nurses, therapists, and the general public.
