From her love of Howard Stern to her increasing activism in the autism community and exhaustive search for treatments that will help her daughters, she explores her life with vigor and humor. Always outspoken, often touching, and sometimes heartbreaking, she is a powerful new voice in the world of autism, for mothers of every stripe, and in comedic writing.
