The moment readers view the table of contents, they will be struck by the book%u2019s genuine transparency regarding what autism looks like in the home, at school, and in the public eye.

My Boy Has Autism A Father Journey eBook Kyle Wilkin
As an aunt of a special needs person (Down Syndrome, which was unknown prior to her birth), I highly recommend family members and friends read this account of raising a child with special needs. Though my niece is now 25 (and doing very well, and adored by me and everyone in the family), and obviously some of the challenges are different, much of the process of getting the best possible care, and the feelings of having a "different' child are the same. I always tried to relate and sympathize with what her parents and siblings were going through, but in reality it isn't possible. Kyle has written an honest, intelligent, and sometimes humorous book on raising Aiden, and how it has affected his family and his relationships with others. I have always had tremendous respect for anyone who takes on the challenge of raising children, much less a child with special needs. Thanks to Kyle sharing his story, I have a much better understanding.Product details

My Boy Has Autism A Father Journey eBook Kyle Wilkin Reviews
Incredibly informative, heart wrenching, heart warming, and just a really good read. I enjoyed the humorous presentation of this father's (and family's) travails. I know this book will be helpful to those whose journey is just beginning. I look forward to hearing about Aidan's progress as a teen and adult. Hopefully, Kyle will take us on that journey too.
I have never written a review before, but I felt compelled to share my experience from reading this book. I was referred to this book by a friend of mine, and I am glad I took his advice to check it out. I have a brother who has Autistic twins and I wanted to gain a better understanding of the type of challenges he and his wife face on a daily basis. My plan was to read a couple of chapters a night until I finished the book. Three hours later from opening the book, I found myself staying up until three in the morning to finish reading it cover to cover! It was a fast paced, easy reading book that evoked a wide range of emotions in me as I continued to pace through the pages.
The author does a good job of sharing his experience through this book, and has a great sense of humor that carries on even as he touches on some very heart wrenching topics. I feel that his narrative is carried out in a way that the average Joe can relate to even if you do not have an Autistic child. While the odds say that you may not have a child who has autism, chances are someone you know does and it will certainly help you gain a better understanding of the dynamics of being related to or caring for someone who has this particular diagnosis.
I found it interesting that the author Kyle was a teacher. I am also a teacher, and after reading this book, I found myself reflecting on new ways I can try to make accommodations for Autistic kids to help them learn the same material, but perhaps by a different method as they may process the information differently than other students.
I feel like this is a book that is well written and even though they are his own personal experiences, it includes narratives that many people will find themselves having a connection with. Whether you have a child with autism like the author, know someone with autism, or are simply a parent, teacher, or anyone else that works with or has kids, there will be content that will make you laugh, cry, or gain a new perspective on a topic that most people may not ever fully understand.
A really helpful guide for anyone just learning their child is autistic or is struggling with another difficult phase in your child's path. This smart, sensitive account offers encouragement and practical guidance for all things from sibling relationships and sports to getting absolutely the most from available school and other resources.
An elusive dynamic for professionals who have the opportunity to work with this population is the family. Wilkin brings that dynamic into laser focus and offers a crystalline understanding of what parents of special needs children are experiencing. It should be required reading in professional training regimens. This book is well worth the 3 hours spent reading it simply in the time that will be saved in reducing repetitive and fragmented IEP meetings.
I bought this book awhile ago and picked it up to reread. It is filled with humor, love, and frustration. As an educator, every one of us should read a parents journey in order to understand the joys and frustrations shared at home and to better serve our student. Fast read with much emotion and witt.
I cannot remember the last time that I read a book cover to cover. I have read countless books over the years, but have always flipped through the boring parts, skipped chapters, and finished without reading the entire book. I literally read every word of this book (after my wife snatched it out of the mail and wouldn't put it down until she was finished!) and was literally taken on a journey through the chapters of the daily life with the Wilkin family. It was not only well written, but it spoke to a father who also only wants the very best for his children and to keep his wife happy. It is surprising to me that this is the authors first book. He has a way of describing every detail and pulling you into a chapter and then wrapping it up before moving on. I highly recommend this book to anyone - not just those who have been affected by autism. It is quite simply, a GOOD BOOK!
