“From Struggle To Strength gives fathers of special needs children the connection and understanding that is not always readily available to them. But the book also encourages moms to pause; it gives us a lens to see the male perspective more clearly. “As a mom of a special needs child, Harry’s story made me realize that I did not take enough time to consider how Dad was handling things. We all just become so busy with the schedule autism brings. Thankfully Harry has so bravely taken the time to share his experiences with his son Gus. “Harry is a true contender against the relentless opponent we call autism. It bobs and weaves, but Harry reminds us, in an incredibly positive and powerful way, that we too have all the right moves. This book, no matter where you are in your journey, will be the encouragement you need in your corner of the ring!”
