Summer reading

[Bonnie]

While school is out for summer break do you find your reading to be less intense on the subject of autism?

What are you currently reading?

[Xerxes Break(Vivian Ephona)]

Fantasy books. My autistic sister is reading like crazy, though. More than she usually does. And not picture books either ^-^

We've always been big on books but I have to admit this past summer has seen a dramatic increase in reading for both my Aspie child and myself. (Could be that we shut off cable?) However, where she is still nearly strictly non-fiction - I have taken a break from anything Autism. I think I overloaded on the topic after she was diagnosed... and I am only just getting back to being able to handle the topic again. This is not an easy thing to accept and too much of what I found in the beginning (Jan-May 2008) was about babies/todlers and it just made me feel guilty that my child didn't get diagnosed earlier.
