Choosing Love Every Single Day
They told me my son just needed better discipline.
They were wrong.
When my firstborn was diagnosed with autism, I did not have a roadmap. I had fear, grief, confusion — and a child who needed me to figure it out anyway. So I did. One difficult, beautiful, heartbreaking, joyful day at a time.
Choosing Love Every Single Day is the book I wish someone had handed me at the beginning. It is honest about the hard parts — the diagnosis, the grief, the bullying, the pandemic, the nights you cry because you do not know what comes next. And it is honest about the gifts — the first word spoken, the milestones nobody else would understand, the love that grows deeper than you ever imagined possible.
This is not a clinical guide. It is a mother's true story, written for every parent who has ever whispered: "How do I do this?"
Inside you will find:
✅ How to navigate the early stages of a diagnosis without losing yourself
✅ Why acceptance is not giving up — and what it actually looks like in daily life
✅ Practical wisdom for building a life that works for your child and your family
✅ How to protect your own wellbeing so you can keep showing up
✅ Real milestones worth celebrating — on your child's timeline, not the world's
You do not have to have it all figured out. You just have to keep choosing your child.
This book will help you do that.
