As Birds Soar: One family's journey living with ADHD and Autism Spectrum

The struggles and rewards of providing a stable, positive upbringing and quality education for a loved one with multiple medical conditions: one family's journey with a beloved child. The Cooper family's story took on a larger mission of bringing attention to a broken system that in most cases takes a tremendous financial and emotional toll on the average family in the efforts of making their child better. They entered the vast complex of the special needs industry, with its alluring maze of products, treatments and services that promised the cure or improvement of autism, ADHD and other medical conditions. Eventually, the family's savings dwindled as the Coopers desperately tried to find answers for their son before it became too late. "The author takes you on a pioneering journey in the life of a family faced with fear, lack of a roadmap and a search for the healing of their child. The authenticity of the stories, emotional sharings and the breakthrough moments will pull at your heartstrings, even if their story is not your story. This book offers a reflection on the gift of life and living regardless of the struggles we are required to navigate. You will have a greater appreciation and respect for the contributions of all humanity as a result of reading this book." - E. Patricia Leonard, author of Wearing High Heels in a Flip Flop World; The Now, How, and Wow of Success; and Becoming and Woman.
