Description

When you tell a person that you have a child who is autistic, the way they look at you changes. The way they look at your child changes. They see his difference. They see the difficulty. I see my son.

About the Author:
My name is Edda Altidor. I was born and raised in Haiti. I moved to Miami at the age of 21 and throughout the years I've overcome a lot of obstacles, but my great blessing was when I gave birth to my boys. They have taught me a lot throughout this life but most of all my younger had taught me patience. In this book you'll see how myself and my family overcame raising a child with autism.
