About my books
My first book is a diary-memoir of my family’s adventurous trip to India, woven with the experience of living with Autism and how I, as a mother, dealt with it. It’s a candid internal and external journey with lots of humor and inner conflicts in a peculiar, entirely different world among Hindu gods and monkeys.
My second book presents the family’s first thirteen years with Autism through the eyes of multiple characters. I share as a mother gradually facing the new reality and immersing myself in this peculiar life. The two autistic children also speak up, allowing readers to glimpse into the emotions and experiences of autistic individuals, and the youngest neurotypical child also shares his perspective of living alongside his not-so-typical older siblings in everyday life. This second book is not yet available in English.
