About this listen

 AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

In this moving narrative of resilience and pure love, three mothers share their experiences and learnings about life alongside autism -- From the creators of Finding Cooper's Voice, What Color is Monday?, and Tales of an Educated Debutante

Kate Swenson, Adrian Wood and Carrie Cariello are from different parts of the country and backgrounds, but they were brought together by a singular experience: they are each a mother to a child with autism. Together they have shared laughter, tears, victories and the unconditional love that molds their lives.

Kate, Adrian and Carrie have children with very different autism profiles, and in Autism Out Loud they write about their unique experiences, providing a glimpse of what to expect on the autism journey and showing parents that they are not alone. Inside these pages you’ll find stories and lessons on a variety of topics, including:
  • Diagnosis
  • Caregiving
  • Schooling and education
  • Aging
  • Siblings and Family
  • Grief
  • Community
Written with honesty and heart, the stories within these pages serve as a reminder that even amid the storms of life, there is always hope and beauty to be found. A tribute to the unparalleled love of mothers, this inspiring book illuminates the joys, challenges and everyday miracles of life on the spectrum.

I wasn’t able to get through the final chapter, it was just a bit too much for me at the time. I hope I’ll come back to it one day. Thank you sincerely.

This book is absolutely beautiful. I cried multiple times, at least once in every chapter.
I have two sons with autism. Two very different profiles. One may live independently and one will most likely will be with us forever. And a typical son in the middle. I related to Kate, Adrian and Carrie in different ways, their stories spoke directly to my heart. To our past, our present and my fears of my son’s future.
The Audio was fantastic and I can’t wait for my hardback to be delivered. It will be reread and cherished forever.
This book needs to reach the hands and ears of every person who has ever been touched by autism.

The book we have all needed!
