MOM Upside Down is WOW Lynn Madison

MOM Upside Down is WOW One Mom's Journey Raising Two Kids with Special Needs and Practical Advice for Your Journey. In this book I not only share my personal journey, from birth to adulthood and all the stuff in between. My son was diagnosed with Asperger's Autism and my daughter was diagnosed with Mood Disorder NOS (Not Otherwise Specified), but I feel this book is universal and will aid in understanding any developmental disorder or mood disorder. Topics that are discussed include: Doctors Family Counselors Alternative Medicine Diagnosis Spiritual Guidance Medications Transition to Adulthood School Resources Psychiatric Hospitals Being the parent of a child with special needs is difficult. You are your child's advocate; they cannot advocate for themselves. This book is a guide to show not only techniques I used, but resources I found through the years. Hopefully by my sharing this information, you can benefit from it or find other avenues to answer questions and find support. "We have a choice: we can either laugh about it or cry about it. I have always chosen to laugh about it. Even when I was most hurt, lonely, and confused, I always found some humor in it. So this book will reflect this view. My sense of humor is sharp; some say it borders on sarcasm. My hope is that as you read on I will be able to get you to laugh, to experience a disconnect from the seriousness of the situation at hand, to find something hilarious in a topic that is anything from funny."
