With the Light: Raising an Autistic Child, Vol. 5 Paperback – September 15, 2009

As a librarian, I recommended this series to many who had autistic family members, worked with autistic individuals, or were just interested. All found the series rang true to their own experiences despite the setting in another country. The series follows a young Japanese family from the expectation of their first child, the discovery of his autism, and their daily trials through to Junior High age (the author passed away while working on the 8th vol.). If your local library doesn’t own it, you can get it from another through inter-library loan (and maybe recommend it for purchase for your library).

As truly beautiful as well very emotional 😭.

Great find for some reason vol 5and 6 are the hardest to find and the most expensive. I fell in love with this series after I read vol 1 at my local library and was hard pressed to find any so I was glad to find these on Amazon.

Great book.
