A Will of His Own: Reflections on Parenting a Child with Autism - Revised Edition

Kelly Harland's stories explore her son's life to the age of 14, and the new and unexpected universe she and her husband — both professional musicians — must learn to navigate with him.

Will's fears, anxieties, and obsessions can dominate daily life, making a trip to the grocery store seem like a walk across a minefield. But amidst these unpredictable "flip-outs" and "freak-outs," there are moments of wonder. When Will finally learns the give and take of conversation, or dreams about his future, it rekindles his mother's belief that anything is possible.
