Carly's Voice: Breaking Through Autism

Review:I have never known or be around anyone with autism or similar. Saw her on The Dr's. I was curious how she had accomplished what she had done. Very interesting on how hard and long it took her to get where she is today. It is amazing how she has pushed herself and how lucky she is for parents who never gave up and were willing and able to do whatever it took to help get her to this point. Maybe one day she will be able to voice it for real. A must read to learn what the person with autism i... Read more

Review:I have to agree with the other reviewers that this is a very good book. I am a pretty tough critic, who reserves five stars for books that change my life. While this book fell just short of that classification, I can say that my life is a little easier/better after reading it.
