A Lifetime of Laughing and Loving with Autism: New and Revisited Stories that Will Warm and Inspire You
This book will warm your heart! A compilation of the first three Laughing and Loving with Autism books, this “Best of” book contains all of your favorite stories, plus some new ones. The concept for Laughing and Loving came when R. Wayne Gilpin realized how much people enjoyed the stories about his son, Alex, and his unique view of the world. Not only did people love his stories, they usually chimed in with a few of their own. This “light” view of autism contrasted sharply with all of the technical manuals or doom and gloom stories that were in print at the time, so Wayne decided that THIS view of autism needed to be shared.
