Mother & Son: A Personal Journey with Autism Spectrum Disorder
McCracken Middle School, 8000 E Prairie Rd, Skokie, IL | Get Directions »
FREE
Whether it is missed social cues, sensory overload or the complete lack of filters, Autism Spectrum Disorder can be a huge challenge. Jackie Christiansen, now 11, was diagnosed with ASD in second grade. Diane Christiansen, Jackie's mother and a published author, decided to write a book about their experiences. Jackie's Journal was written in her son's own words, showing just a part of what makes him special. Through their personal stories, they will take you on a journey with ASD, talking about the importance of the home-school connection. Their journey helps us understand we should all celebrate who we are every day.
