Not what I expected : help and hope for parents of atypical children
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references (pages 235-242) and index.

As diagnosis rates continue to rise for autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, and other developmental differences, parents face a maze of medical, psychological, and educational choices -- and a great deal of emotional stress. Many books address children's learning or behavior problems and advise parents what they can do to help their kids. This one instead explains what the parents are going through, as well as how they can cope with their own emotional upheaval -- for their own sake, and for the wellbeing of the whole family.
