Book Description
Writing began in 1972 when I noticed my daughter was not talking by the age of three years. I tried to seek help and through numerous visits with the professionals, who are supposed to know everything, it became clear to me that I was repeating my story over and over again until I did not want to talk about it any more. I decided to write a book so when I met a new Social Worker, Psychologist, Psychiatrist, doctor, teacher or anyone remotely involved with challenged children, I would just hand them my book about Colleen. That way I did not have to say anything, they could read it for themselves. The book "Mama Loves Colleen" became more than a personal history concerning my daughter. I realized it involved the whole family. I saw it as a chance to help other people understand the problems that arise when you are raising an Autistic child. The book is not only about the challenges of raising an Autistic child. The book also deals with the challenges of trying to understand the workings of Community Mental Health. From the very start, they spoke a different language. I thought there was something wrong with me. Each visit with one group or another my blood pressure went over the top. I had to conquer anger, depression and the terrible urge to punch someone's lights out. I hope when you read the book you feel my anger, you understand my depression, maybe even get a few chuckles from some of my experiences with Colleen - Sylvia Kolley Following is a list of the 14 signs of Autism: 1. Difficulty in mixing with other children 2. Acts as though they are deaf 3. Resists learning 4. No fear of real dangers 5. Resists changes in their routines 6. Indicates needs by gestures 7. Inappropriate laughing and giggling 8. Not cuddly 9. Marked physical activity 10. No eye contact 11. Inappropriate attachments to objects 12. Spins objects 13. Sustained odd play 14. Standoffish manner As you read this book, you will see that Colleen exhibits all of these signs and then some.

Pages : 290
Book Description
A New York Times Notable Book of the Year “Brilliantly breathes life not only into the perils of living at sea, but also into the hidden dangers of domesticity, parenthood, and marriage. What a smart, swift, and thrilling novel.” —Lauren Groff, author of Florida Juliet is failing to juggle motherhood and her stalled-out dissertation on confessional poetry when her husband, Michael, informs her that he wants to leave his job and buy a sailboat. With their two kids—Sybil, age seven, and George, age two—Juliet and Michael set off for Panama, where their forty-four foot sailboat awaits them. The initial result is transformative; the marriage is given a gust of energy, Juliet emerges from her depression, and the children quickly embrace the joys of being at sea. The vast horizons and isolated islands offer Juliet and Michael reprieve – until they are tested by the unforeseen. A transporting novel about marriage, family and love in a time of unprecedented turmoil, Sea Wife is unforgettable in its power and astonishingly perceptive in its portrayal of optimism, disillusionment, and survival.
