Autism Within Me

When Cara’s youngest son, Adam, begins to slip away – first from language, then from eye contact, touch, and even his own family – she’s left reeling, alone with questions no one can answer.

This is not just a story about autism. 

It’s a story about intuition, about the ache of watching your child disappear behind a wall of silence.

Told with unflinching honesty and moments of unexpected grace, Autism Within Me is a raw and powerful memoir about motherhood, resilience, and the invisible threads that hold us together when words are no longer enough.

For any parent who’s ever feared the worst – or fought for their child when no one else would – this story will break your heart and build it back together.
