Find hope and inspiration for a more inclusive world with this thought-provoking book, He Ain't Heavy (He's My Son) Part II.

Thirteen years after her first book was published, Dr. Dana Jones-Meggett explores the path she and her son walked together as they navigated his life with autism. In Part II of this powerful and insightful journey, Dr. Jones-Meggett reveals how people with disabilities have historically been treated along with the specifics surrounding her son's medical teams. She also shares information about her son's transition into adulthood as a man of color with a disability in today's social climate.

This book is a powerful and insightful story but also a guide and resource for parents, human service professionals, first responders, educators, religious leaders, or curious minds on the need for advocacy and access to resources while avoiding pitfalls. It is a call to action to destigmatize disabilities and for all of us to do our part in making the world a more inclusive and compassionate place. After all, people are more than their disabilities.

Dr. Jones-Meggett's story of conquering insurmountable challenges while ensuring the best for her son is also a call to embrace the concept of inclusion and to understand we all have a purpose. As one reader states, He Ain't Heavy (He's My Son) Part II is a "must read for those caring for a loved one with a disability."
