WM Phillips has written a positive, humorous and timely reflection on her personal and family journey with autism. The focus throughout this readable book is on those "unique" experiences that lead to the reframing of both challenges and solutions life presents when you are raising a child diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. Ms. Phillips embraces the diagnosis so that qualities perceived as negative can in fact become positive life outcomes, and all done with the salvation of a sense of humor. Ms. Phillips shares many times and situations that are noted as "aha moments", thereby providing teachable episodes which provide the evidence of the power that patience, respect, time and love can have for a family who learns to, "Embrace Unique."
