My Child and Autism

About this book

Dr. Marwa Ibrahim approaches autism first as a mother and then as a specialist who entered special education to better understand her child. The book follows the shock and denial that can accompany diagnosis, the long work of building communication and the significance of achievements that may look small to others. Personal experience is combined with accessible professional insight, while avoiding false promises. It reminds families and practitioners that a child is more than a diagnostic label and that progress is built gradually through attention, patience and love.
