A Poignant and Inspiring Story of a Family Whose Child Emerges from Autism.
Let me tell you my story...
It is October 2007, and my almost-five-year-old son has just received an autism diagnosis.

Moments like this make it all worthwhile. This morning at breakfast, my 11-year-old, Alina, said, “Mom, I had a bad dream. I dreamt that I failed my Taekwondo test on Wednesday. I felt terrible.” I replied, “Oh, that sounds so upsetting, sweetheart. Why don’t you talk...
