Kerry L. Brooks, in his book Autism 2 Awesome, discussed how his son was diagnosed with autism when he was just three years old. The thought of his son being on the autism spectrum was hard for him at first, but he took the courage to give his son the best life and be the best dad for him. Doctors and experts he met told him to forget about his son and plan on giving birth to other children, but he was determined to help his son live the most normal life possible, even for someone with autism. He started by changing his own thinking and doing several research projects on how to help him. His wife was also a part of the journey, as she went to several autism conferences to understand the condition their son was in and how to help him attain a quality, successful, and healthy life.
 
This book has impacted me greatly and made me see beyond what the author has shown in this book. Though Kerry was talking about strategies that worked for his son on the autism spectrum, I saw those strategies as strategies that can work for and be applied even in someone's life who does not have autism. Some of the strategies I picked from this book were never giving up, praying at all times, and not depending on or relying on others to solve your crisis. I also found the term resilience to be very useful, and I liked how he applied this strategy to helping his son.
 
After reading this book to the end, I can gladly say that I did not see anything that I disliked about it. Instead, I was motivated by how Kerry supported his son and showered him with love like every other kid out there throughout his journey. I learned a lot from the father-son relationship that he and Max had, and that made me wish I had the same bond and relationship with my dad.
 
I loved how he had the best interest of his child at heart and did not mind what experts, doctors, or other professionals who had more ideas about autism were telling him. His zeal to help him soon live a successful, healthy, and fulfilling life was outrageous. I commend his hard work and the support he got from his wife and other well-wishers. Furthermore, I loved how he impacted his son with the things he had learned and how he pressed on and worked harder in his son's best interest to become a better man than he was at his age. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars because of the lessons in it. The book is exceptionally edited.
 
I recommend this book to those who have kids with autism and are confused about the next step to take, as well as to those who want to have an improved quality of life, as they would find it very interesting to read.

Hey y'all! After reading this review, I have to say, Autism 2 Awesome sounds like a truly inspiring book. Kerry Brooks's dedication to supporting his son and providing the best life possible for him is truly commendable. The strategies he shares, like never giving up and relying on one's own resilience, seem applicable to anyone facing challenges in life, not just those with autism. The father-son relationship described in the book is heartwarming, and I can't help but be inspired by their bond. Overall, I think this book would be a great read for anyone looking for motivation and guidance in navigating life's obstacles. Dynamic storytelling, kept me engaged throughout.

I can imagine how hard it is to discover that one's child is on the spectrum. This book will be super helpful as it is written by someone who absolutely knows where the shoe pinches.

Well, I gotta say, this here book sounds like a mighty good read! It seems like the author, Kerry L. Brooks, really poured his heart into sharing his journey of raising his son with autism. I reckon it's inspiring to see how he didn't give up and fought for his son's best life, even when others said to forget about him. The strategies he learned along the way, like resilience and never giving up, sure do sound like something we all can use, not just for folks with autism. And I gotta give it a solid 5 outta 5 stars for the powerful lessons it seems to offer. I reckon this book could be a helpin' hand for them parents confused 'bout how to navigate the world of autism. So, y'all might wanna give it a read and see for yourselves! Dynamic characters, felt alive and vibrant.
