I Have Been Buried Under Years of Dust: A Memoir of Autism and Hope by Valerie Gilpeer, Emily Grodin

4.0

Eye-opening, informative, heart-wrenching and beautiful memoir told by Valerie and her daughter Emily, who is autistic and nonverbal. The mother-daughter duo describes the challenges of living as and with an autistic person. The books takes you from Emily's beginning to where she is today...it's great seeing how Emily's life changed after she found her voice. It includes poems written by Emily. It's an bold and courageous book. People with autism deserved to be treated with love, respect and empathy. I recommend this book with April being Autism Acceptance month.
