“Noah! You have to listen to me and do exactly what I say because I wrote COLLEGE CURRICULUM!”

With only one kid left at home, I am digging in deep and exploring all possible parenting strategies no matter how ridiculous they may seem. If a college is teaching something I wrote in a real classroom, that means I have to be worth listening to, right?!?

This is my latest parenting strategy. I will keep you posted on how it goes.

This week my publisher shared with me that my book “United in Autism: Finding Strength inside the Spectrum” is now being used as required curriculum at a college.

How cool is that?!?

I love that the next generation will be exposed to real, raw stories of families living with autism. Our families sharing our stories…our too-crazy-to-believe, inspiring, and sometimes heartbreaking stories…is how empathy for our community will be formed. Only then will people be listening enough for change to be made.

“She (Hornok) interviewed 30 parents of children with autism based everywhere from Missouri to Singapore. Each piece is concise, thought-provoking, and illustrated with at least one black-and-white family photograph. This book offers lessons and hope. A well-written and reassuring set of true stories about autism.” Kirkus Reviews

“Autism can be a lonely journey, writes the author, who helps bridge the gap for isolated parents with this offering. Those in search of stories of solidarity will find that and more here.” Library Journal

“United in Autism” received the Mom’s Choice Gold Award.

“United in Autism” (foreword by Dr. Temple Grandin) is available anywhere online books are sold. Link in bio.

And just like that Lizzie is at college. She is living on her own. She did it. We did it.

The girl who at the age of two was slapped with a lifelong label infused with both said and unsaid limits overcame them all.

There was no way to adequately prepare myself for the mixed bag of big emotions currently coursing uncontrollably through my body.

Joy because of that beautiful smile on her face.
Joy because of an impossible dream realized.
Joy because of the many God-sized miracles witnessed to make it happen.
Guilt because we are the exception.

Pride because she worked ridiculously hard every single day.
Pride because she never gave up despite her many challenges.
Pride because she is such an incredibly beautiful person, inside and out.
Fear because the world can be cruel, and I can no longer protect her.

And most prominently the emotion taking over my whole being is the heart-wrenching sadness of already missing the girl who brought me daily happiness.

For almost two decades, the work has been done together...the therapy, tutoring, and managing of the next challenge. Now the work for me is learning how to be apart…letting go and giving her the freedom she deserves.
