I Am My Brother's Keeper
A 7-Year-Old Author and the Battle Against Autism By Mark Stackpole
"I believe that no one treatment has the answer to everything, and I would recommend that parents consider combining approaches to meet their child's individual needs," says Dr. Loveland. "Often parents will get different viewpoints from professionals in different fields (medicine, psychology, education, etc.), which can be confusing. Parents should read as much as possible in order to be informed consumers."
Brother's Words"I am glad that the book is out so now when Justin is bad, people will know he does not do it on purpose," says Jace Richards. The Richards family has pulled together as a result of their shared ordeal. In addition to My Brother's Keeper, they maintain a Web site, www.mybrotherskeeper.biz, and hope to assist in the building of an autistic children's wellness center and a day camp on their farm. In the meantime, Donna and Jace's mission is a simple but crucial one: "There are still a lot of people out there who are uneducated when it comes to autism," she says."I think the most important thing is to let parents know that there is help out there."
