A CHILD WITH ASD

THUNDER IN YOUR BLUE SKY

From moarning to honouring 

This new book by Myranda Smeelen is written for families who received an ASD diagnosis for their child or are about to receive this diagnosis. The book also gives the people around the family insight and understanding of the emotions and changes associated with the diagnosis of ASD. 

Diagnosis ASD, and then what? 

The personal story of Myranda leaves nothing to the imagination. Clear and concrete she describes her mourning process and provides tips and guidelines. Also for professionals, social services, teachers, family and friends this book is a must. Myranda underlines the importance of a different approach than is common knowledge at the moment. She stresses the specific focus on guidance in the mourning process of parents, after hearing the diagnosis. The mother or other family members are mourning because of lost dreams and shattered expectations. This might stand in the way of helping the child succesfully.
