I am a single mother of a child with Aspergers Syndrome and it is tough. After I read this book Louder Than Words I of course cried and thanked god that I had a child that could speak. All of the mothers of autistic children are heroes and saints for the dedication to their childrens health. Jenny McCarthy continues to fight for autism, if you want to see a different side of her please read this book. Or if you just want to know what a mother with an autistic child goes through--read it.
