Devin's Life on the Spectrum

Hi, Iím Kent. This is the story of the life of my son Devin and a sharing of his poetry.†

This book raises awareness about an incredibly rare autoimmune disorder called ALPS and a slightly less rare disorder called ITP. Devin had both of these and some other things caused by the long-term medications they required. Devin also had autism.

Has your child been diagnosed with autism? This news can negatively impact your life, and the life of your child, but itís important to keep in perspective that your child will likely have a profoundly positive impact on the lives of everyone around them. With the diagnosis will come a prognosis of long-term capabilities. Seek and you will find many forms of therapy, hobbies, and support resources, some of which are described in this book, that can potentially allow your child to rise above. Each child and case of autism is unique, so never give up.
