NATIONAL BESTSELLER

With her popular blog, Finding Cooper's Voice, Kate Swenson has provided hope and comfort for hundreds of thousands of parents of children with Autism. Now, Kate shares her inspiring story in this powerful memoir about motherhood and unconditional love

When Kate Swenson’s son Cooper was diagnosed with severe, nonverbal autism, her world stopped. She had always dreamed of having the perfect family life. She hadn’t signed up for life as a mother raising a child with a disability.

At first, Kate experienced the grief of broken dreams. Then she felt the frustration and exhaustion of having to fight for your child in a world that is stacked against them. But through hard work, resilience and personal growth, she would come to learn that Cooper wasn’t the one who needed to change. She was. And it was this transformation that led Kate to acceptance—and ultimately joy. In Forever Boy, Kate shares her inspiring journey with honesty and compassion, offering solace and hope to others on this path and illuminating the strength and perseverance of mothers.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Everyone should read this book. What an incredible story of a mother's unwavering love for her child and a reminder that it's okay to experience and express a multitude of emotions when life doesn't turn out the way you'd planned. Would highly recommend to anyone.

I have the same severe variety of autism child. Thanks Kate for being so honest in your every word. Acceptance bring joy in everything. Your book will help lot of parents in accepting autism journey. I believe you are the one who brought mot awareness about autism in social media.
I love Cooper's smile. He is very good at his speech generating device. Try Rapid Prompting Method. I believe he jas full potential to express himself by spelling. Always try one new thing.. as you said.

everyone who knows a child, has a child, or may someday have a child should hear what Kate has to say about the true love a parent should have for their child no matter what illness or disability they may have or whether they are so called normal. I've worked in the school system with special needs and in the main stream and often wish that parents in the main stream would put half the effort into their child that the parents of special needs put into their children. Kate shows how to fight for every child!

As a mother who is currently awaiting diagnosis for her first son, I have never felt so seen and heard. Although our sons struggle in very difficult areas the parallels of feelings as mothers is uncanny. The worries and concerns but also the pure joy and happiness expressed can be extremely overwhelming. Listening to your hardships and crying realizing the oh so close to home feelings I have felt myself while simultaneously laughing as you tell light hearted stories of Cooper. Thank you Kate for writing this book, making me feel less alone, for spreading Autism Awareness, advocating for our children and for providing hope. When I look at my perfect son, I would never want to change anything about him but I often wonder why him? Why me? Why our family? And I instantly feel guilty but I now know I’m not alone in my feelings and they are okay. I hope this review finds you. I’m asking all my closest friends and family to read a copy because I so eloquently describes what it’s like to be a mother to a child with Autism. Thanks again Kate, I’m now following alone on Instagram, add another supporter to the list <3 Much Love ~ Haley

Been wanting to read/listen to this book for a while and glad I finally did. Having a nonverbal daughter myself, I see a lot of her in Cooper and it warms my heart. Beautiful story.

I cannot recommend enough to my fellow autism momma’s
This book contains all of the words I was too afraid to say.
In true fashion of a special needs mom, I had this book on pre-order for months & although I was so excited to read it upon arrival - I didn’t get a chance to “read” it until also buying the audio book on audible - I would and will gladly buy this book over and over.
Thank you for making me feel seen, heard, validated, and for reigniting my advocacy flame

Sincerely,
A burnt out special needs mom who just needed someone to “get” it. ❤️
