Autism Learning

I put this book together for parents, teachers, and homeschoolers to help them with children with ADD, ADHD, Autism, and more. For many years I was an advocate for my son, spoke at teacher conferences, went to conferences, and wrote a monthly article for an international online website. This book helps with concentration, arguing, and inspiring them. I do not claim to have all the answers, but this is a lot of what I applied and was shared with me throughout those difficult years. I believe that this will be a big help.

Through this book, I hope, you will understand that there are a lot of things you as a parent can do to help your autistic child live a meaningful life. You just need to fully accept your child for who he or she is and take delight in the beautiful things that your child brings into your life.

En el esfuerzo cotidiano por criar a Lucas, Agustina leyó libros, se asesoró, probó, se equivocó y acertó con tratamientos, medicaciones, modos de aprendizaje y formas de vincularse. ¿Qué sabe la ciencia? ¿Qué sabe una madre? ¿Dónde chocan y de qué manera se pueden encontrar? Agustina Videla nació en Buenos Aires en 1978 y desde su infancia disfruta de la literatura y la danza. Llegando a los 30, se convirtió en madre y empezó su verdadera aventura.

Normal for Me tells the story about the author hitting rock bottom when she received the diagnosis that her second oldest son was on the autism spectrum. One evening she fell to her knees asking God, “Why can’t we be a ‘normal’ family?” God whispered, “This IS normal for you.” This epiphany began her journey from anguish and grief to acceptance, peace, hope, and joy. This audiobook is ideal for not only families struggling with autism but anyone who has had to face a life detour or help someone along the way.

For the parent of an autistic child, knowledge truly is power, as it helps one to understand how to approach the child and handle one's own mixed emotions.
