Finding Mary: One Family's Journey on the Road to Autism Recovery is a personal and informative look at how a family tackled the challenge of autism. Robertson brings readers along on an emotional ride as the family accepts the heart-breaking diagnosis, sifts through mountains of often-conflicting information and begins the recovery phase.
Recovery is multi-faceted, requiring a support team and changes in all aspects of daily life. Robertson, a one-time newspaper reporter, reveals the steps his family took to turn Mary's autism around. There were no magic pills, just years of little steps that resulted in a major turnaround. Finding the right educational program, adjusting Mary's diet and participating in key social and athletic programs are just some of the steps that helped the Robertsons find Mary.
