Amalia Starr is an author, motivational speaker, independent living coach, educator, advocate and mother of an adult son with autism. She developed a step-by-step life-changing program for children with autism and special needs to reach maximum independence. In her newly released book, Raising Brandon: A Path to Independence for Your Adult “Kid” with Autism & Special Needs, Starr writes how she helped her thirty-seven year old son, Brandon achieve his dream of independence when the professionals deemed it impossible due to her son having Asperger’s, intractable epilepsy, and severe learning disorders.
Raising Brandon is quickly becoming a manual for parents who have children and adults with autism and special needs. The book informs, educates, and offers hope to a generation of parents struggling for answers.
Although living alone may not be an option for every child, helping one’s child to live the best life possible is every parent’s dream. It is never too early or too late to get started, says Starr. She did not find out that Brandon had Asperger’s until he was thirty-two. There is HOPE!
