Well, I have two answers for this. One silly (but serious) and the other is just serious. I'll go with serious first...
"Ten things every child with Autism wishes you knew" by Ellen Notbohm.
I got this book before we even had Camden's diagnosis. I knew there was something going on with him that was different than the other two kiddos, well- than Candace because Carter was just a baby still. But I figured it couldn't hurt and it completely opened my eyes. The summer Camden was 3 and I was pregnant I read "Raising a strong willed child" by Dr. James Dobson. That book did help quite a bit but Ten Things was a deal changer for me. It made me realize things about Camden and myself, an insight to the reasons why he does or doesn't do certain things, and how to treat situations differently. I have passed it around to the grandmothers and they treat him differently now after reading it as well. i wish my husband and the grandpa's would read it. Mainly my husband, just because I think it would be so beneficial for HIM, as well as our son.
And now for my "silly" one. The Twilight Saga. He he he!! As if you didn't know (if you know me, that is). I had been told about the books by friends and my friends mom how amazing they were and that I should read them and that I'd really like them. My answer was always "whatever". I think the reason was because of my own mother. She brought us up thinking that the smurfs were evil, so vampires must be too right?? Well, I read all the books and I love them. My hubby makes fun of me for RE reading them. They are THAT good!
