Book excerpt: If you are the parent, caregiver, or educator of a child with autism, He Ain't Heavy (He's My Son) is for you. Dana Jones, mother of a thirteen year-old boy living with autism, shares her tenacious quest to discover everything about autism. From common misconceptions to handling cruel comments and attitudes, this thought-provoking book will educate and motivate readers of all ages. An important element is the challenge Jones faces as a single parent, and her reminder that single parenting is no barrier to giving a child love, support, and opportunity in a country where autism is finally coming out of the dark corner and being explored with greater openness and honestly. This is a book about parenting a child who is autistic, but it is also a story of compassion and hope. Most of all, it is a reminder that every special needs child deserves to be loved, educated, and accepted.
