The Life You Never Expected: Thriving While Parenting Special Needs Children by Rachel Wilson, Andrew Wilson
4.0
This was a quick read. I appreciated the way it was laid out/organized and the conversational tone it was written in.
It's not a how-to book, more 2 parents externally processing and laying bare their experiences in being parents of two special needs children - from diagnosis to daily life.
At times, I found myself thinking I'm not sure you're allowed to say that...is that ok? But I actually think that's what might make this helpful for so many. There is no doomsday mentality but nor is there any sugarcoating what this has meant them them and how it's impacted their life.
Overall I think it's a good read for anyone - whether a parent of a special needs child or not.
