Autism's Hidden Blessings

Does God care about Autism? Kelly Langston knows firsthand the struggles and victories associated with autism--from the time she heard her son's diagnosis and was given little more than a handshake and a brochure to the time she watched her son sing every word in his school musical. Through her experiences--the good and the bad--she discovered a beautiful blessing: God does care about autism. Better yet, he has a unique and marvelous purpose for children with autism--a purpose no less than that of any other child. More than an "I've been there too" story, "Autism's Hidden Blessings" highlights God's blueprint for living a life full of joy and potential despite autism. Inside, you'll discover: -the inheritance of promises God has for you and your exceptional child -why autism will never limit God from revealing himself to your child -what to do when you are angry at God and how to move past it -why love is the greatest therapy of all -scriptural encouragement to help your family soar above the autism battle Autism doesn't define your child and doesn't limit his or her potential.

It's time to reclaim your joy, laughter, and most of all, hope.
