The diagnosis propels her more deeply into her life's work with children on the spectrum. Her compelling and lyrical story of raising--and launching--her son is one of anguish as well as joy, and what she learns along the way will help other families who are living this perplexing, remarkable, and humbling journey of parenthood.

She holds a master's degree in educational psychology, a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, and an MFA in creative writing.

Her creative writing has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize and a Lambda Literary Award. She is the mother of two young adult sons. |
