Reviews

This poignant account of parenting a child through the loss of acquired skills is brave, powerful and raw. Exploring the under-recognized phenomenon of autistic regression, Gaston seeks and finds answers in autistic community wisdom, drawing fascinating parallels with autistic burnout. For parents navigating a challenging and uncertain future, this book offers practical advice to optimize the environment so nonspeaking autistic children can thrive. -- Dr Mary Doherty, Autistic Doctors International
