Raising Isaiah: Overcoming The Misconception of Autism

Faith Can Move MountainsThere are times in life we find ourselves facing challenges that are unexpected and difficult to handle. We look for integral sources to help us handle the tough periods along the way. We search for those who have experienced where we are, hoping they will give us the answers to make it through our moments of loneliness, worries, and fear. We hope to find someone to identify with who can inspire us to move forward, give us insight, and get us to our victory. We need someone to help us look at and appreciate the challenge through different lenses other than our own. This gives us greater respect and appreciation for those who have experienced where we are, beat it, endured it, and have not succumbed to it. This book is one of those reads that will make you look at the way you see autism. Children with difficulties are labeled as having a disability. They are called disabled. This book will force you to look at life through another lens. They are not all disabled; they are different. These differences must be recognized and dealt with in ways that may not always be our society's standard. This book will challenge you to look at yourself and how you feel about children with differences. Isaiah and Marcel are champions. She raised a champion, and this book will provoke you to look at the ups and downs, the very dark nights, and the very lonely moments that parents have to endure when there is a society that doesn't understand what it takes to deal with this, day in and day out. Our society must change. "Raising Isaiah" will inspire you to have faith that you may not have had before. This woman's faith, tenacity, and veracity for the love of her child and her faith in God aided her in how to raise a young man to become a contribution and a blessing to society.
