Bobbi Sheahan is a mom who teamed up with her child's psychologist to write, What I Wish I'd Known About Raising a Child with Autism: A Mom and a Psychologist Offer Heartfelt Advice for the First Five Years. She wrote this book to spare other parents some of the pain, discouragement, and confusion that can accompany the early years of parenting a child who has or may have autism. This is her third book.
