This book is not just a story of one family, in which a special boy, Yasha, was born. "Mom, Au" is a diary full of attentive observations and honest reflection, where there is room for sadness and joy, fear and courage, despair and love.
Maria Dubova writes about how to raise a child with an autism diagnosis. How to live when your son does not understand you? What is it like for parents to know that their son does not feel pain and has no sense of fear? How to not forget about the other family members in these circumstances, and most importantly – about yourself? The book is an attempt to find and articulate answers to all these questions, and the psychologist's comments will be useful for other parents. Moreover, not only for parents of special children, but for everyone who is exhausted and feels on the edge, without strength and desire to move forward.
