My Andrew

Day-to-day Living with a Child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder

By: Wallis A. Simpson

Discovering that your child has a permanent pervasive developmental disorder is a shock to any parent. At first, it is hard to believe that the diagnosis is true. But quickly, you begin to immerse yourself in information to learn as much as you can, as quickly as you can. When the author's son was diagnosed with ASD at the age of four, she began collecting files of paperwork from doctors and therapists, test results, IEPs, and her own journal writings. She later combined it in chronological order and used it as a resource to explain her son to teachers, grandparents, caregivers, therapists, and other parents. The result is My Andrew, a heartfelt look into the first eight years of a family's journey to raise their son with autism. Presented in a journal format, this book presents what ASD means to a family's everyday life ? it highlights the ups and downs, the victories and the setbacks.

I Choose to Laugh

Faith in the Midst of Cancer

By: Wallis A. Simpson,Cara Blakley Smith,Cara Blakley Smith with Wallis Simpson

Cancer. It's a word that strikes fear in the hearts of those who hear it. I Choose to Laugh is one woman's story of overcoming that fear. What started as an on-line journal has become a collection of essays. Chapters include practical helps in choosing doctors and dealing with chemotherapy. There is even a section for caregivers and friends of the patient. Mostly, this book seeks to find the laughter of the moment. The overall theme is one of overcoming, of finding the joy of life amidst the pain. The message is clear; one can have cancer without being a victim of cancer. The author's ultimate source of hope is her faith in Jesus Christ. She believes that God allowed her to have cancer for a reason and that reason is to point people to Him. "If God isn't glorified, it's just a disease.
