Summary of Jennifer Cook O'Toole's Autism in Heels
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had thought I was the link between my children’s Asperger’s and their diagnoses, but it was actually my husband who had the condition. It didn’t matter anyway, because I wasn’t a total failure at being human. #2 The last year had been difficult for me. My best friend had been diagnosed with aggressive, stage IV breast cancer. My daughter had been a Make-A-Wish kid after seven years in and out of hospitals. And my two eldest children had been diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome. #3 I began to realize that my father, who had died a few years before, had been my children’s genetic twin. He was a brilliant, beloved man, but he was also awkward and anxious in social settings. I never doubted that he loved me and my mother, but I wondered why I wasn’t enough to keep his interest. #4 I was looking for a mirror image of myself, but I couldn’t find anyone who matched my way of moving through the world. I was constantly on hypervigilant meltdown prevention duty with my kids.

You can come to Christ right now wherever you are and just as you are." If you are trying to work your way into heaven, stop. If ...
