“As a parent of a young adult with autism who is about to exit the school system, Mary’s direct and honest assessment is spot on. It is imperative that parents’ involvement in a child diagnosed with autism goes beyond the checking of boxes when goals are achieved, and to ensure skills are maintained and generalized. Autism Grows Up highlights how skills and interests at a young age can seamlessly be transitioned to meaningful employment in the future. This book is not only for members of our community with special needs but can be applied to all parents.”
