Virtual Author Talk with Anne Tucker Roberts

Join author Anne Tucker Roberts online as she discusses her new book Across the Spectrum: Mothers of Autistic Children Speak!

The book looks at six families over 40 years, from the early 1970s to the 21st century. The reader meets parents who raised their child without knowing the word, "autism," to those caught in the uncertainties of labels and forge ahead to blaze trails of their own, to younger parents implementing modern-day therapies. 

Each story looks at a unique aspect of autism through the perspective of the mothers. Each story lays out the challenges presented by autism and the courage and love that the Mothers demonstrate every day in meeting those challenges. The Mothers speak with directness and honesty so that the stories presented are accurate in every way.

There are many lessons in these stories of courage, love, perseverance, and creativity all while living lives with meaning and purpose.

The Mothers are worthy of our admiration and support as are the children of Autism.

This is Anne Tucker’s second book. Her first book, Five Courageous Mothers – Raising Children with Down Syndrome was published in 2018 to wide acclaim.
