Autism Dad

Follow the adventures of Autism Dad in this collection of 15 essays written by award-winning columnist Rob Errera. Funny, informative, poignant, and engaging, Autism Dad explores the initial devastation of an autism diagnosis, the autism/vaccine controversy, autism in the media, education, therapy and treatments. Above all, Autism Dad is about living with, raising, and loving a child with autism, told from a father's perspective. "I found many autism books written by Autism Moms and medical professionals, but not a lot written by Autism Dads," said Errera, a syndicated columnist for North Jersey Media Group. "I decided to write one myself...but as I sifted through the autism columns I've written since my son's diagnosis in 2003, I realized the first draft was already done!"These columns are revised and updated in Autism Dad, along with three new essays and extensive behind-the-scenes notes that reveal the personal struggles and triumphs of raising a special-needs child.
