Summary

A remarkable inside look at the intersection of faith and autism for parents longing to connect their children with God's love

Raising a child with autism is both a challenge and an adventure--and sometimes parents need to know there can also be wonderful potential for blessings。 Views from the Spectrum shares the inspiring stories of twenty amazing young adults with autism and how each of their family's unwavering support and faith in God led them to accomplish what was thought impossible。 As a thriving adult with autism himself, Ron Sandison is determined to educate the world on the gifts and talents autism can cultivate--even when they differ from our expectations of typical success。

While it is primarily a much-needed how-to guide for parents of children with special needs, this book is also a stunning view into the world of autism。 Readers will witness the courage of Tyler Gianchetta, who rescued his mother from a burning vehicle。 They'll marvel at the artistic talent of nonverbal poet and artist Kimberly Dixon, admire the determination of Armani Williams, competing as a NASCAR driver, and find encouragement in the many other stories within these pages。 In addition to these experiences, Sandison has also interviewed top experts in the autism field and shares their insights here。

Sandison weaves narrative with Scripture, sharing his own journey with autism throughout the book。 Full of anecdotes, scientific research, parenting tips, prayers, devotions, and more, Views from the Spectrum is a celebration of autism, faith, and the possibilities at their intersection。

I love, love, love this book。 Even with my more than 15 years of experience with a child with Asperger's, I still learned new encouraging tips。 So practical。 And being written by a man on the spectrum gives the reader a true insider's look。 Whether you work with someone on the spectrum (adult or child), are raising someone on the spectrum, or interact with neurodivergent people, you will find this book valuable。 Oh, and Ron includes the voices of girls and women on the spectrum too。 Amazing!

As a parent of a child with autism, I've often wished for a peek into my son's mind, to know how he feels and thinks。 "Views from the Spectrum" allows me that opportunity, written by author, husband, and parent Ron Sandison。 What a gift to anyone who is learning about autism! When the world offers only discouragement, Ron offers a vision of what can be。。。 no matter what our current situations tell us。 There is, in fact, a secret to accomplishing what some say is impossible, and Ron knows it well As a parent of a child with autism, I've often wished for a peek into my son's mind, to know how he feels and thinks。 "Views from the Spectrum" allows me that opportunity, written by author, husband, and parent Ron Sandison。 What a gift to anyone who is learning about autism! When the world offers only discouragement, Ron offers a vision of what can be。。。 no matter what our current situations tell us。 There is, in fact, a secret to accomplishing what some say is impossible, and Ron knows it well。 The secret is faith in something greater。。。 God。 If that bothers you, I hope you will read this book before making up your mind。 Ron's book is full of anecdotes, scientific research and expert opinions。 It's also full of prayers, scripture and hope。 Lots of hope!A doctor once told me that my son would never be able to hold down a job。。。 or even know what the word "job" meant。 I refused to accept that future for my son。 Today, he is on the Dean's list at his university, drives to work, laughs, has friends, and is full of joy。 The doctor was wrong! We chose to gather our hope and strength from the same source as Ron's family did。 This book will grab you by the hand and introduce you to this hope。 It's full of inspiring family stories of 20 neurodivergent young adults who have done what many deemed impossible。 Yes, there is hope。 Ron knows it, I have seen it, and you can, too。You'll be blessed。。。 I know it。 。。。more
