According to the Centers for Disease Control, one in forty-four children have been identified with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and 17 percent of children aged three to seventeen have been diagnosed with developmental disabilities. In Autism with a Side of Sushi, author Kuri Yasuno reflects on her journey as a mother of a child on the spectrum. Her relatable accounts of both circumventing situations of public ignorance and raising awareness will cause you to rejoice and laugh at the same time.


This is a must read if you:


  • Find yourself with a diagnosis and have no idea what to do next.
  • Need the perspective of someone who has walked this journey with their loved one.
  • Want to help raise awareness of ASD.

  • In Autism with a Side of Sushi, author Kuri Yasuno not only shares her and her son's intimate story, but gives you the unique perspective as an immigrant who can empathize and sympathize with the feelings of wanting to assimilate and feel included. Her story is refreshingly honest as are her reflections about her thoughts and parenting decisions. This book will not only touch your heart, but will bring out the best in all of us.
