Balaji Ranganathan –
This book is a must read if you are a care giver to a neurodivergent child. As a parent of neurotypical children even I felt this book was very enlightening to understand the issues faced by autistic children and their care givers. Mugdha has done extensive research on this subject and has hands on experience on this subject as a mother of an autistic child. She has selflessly shared all her learnings to make this world a better place. I found lot of her advice on parenting and self care very relevant to all parents. I became a better person and a more aware human after reading this book.
