Biographie:
Angela Acker and her husband Bradley are the proud parents of Vincenzo Roman. Vincenzo was created through love and science, and for that Angela and Bradley are eternally grateful. They always thought the hardest part would be conceiving Vincenzo, but they were wrong. When he was born he was neurotypical, hitting milestones and becoming his own person like all other kids. Then something happened. Suddenly, his light was gone and he drifted far away. Vincenzo was diagnosed with level 2 Moderate Autism. His T-Score was equivalent to 50, demonstrating severe symptoms of ASD. Vinny was now completely nonverbal, ear covering, hurting himself, screaming, falling, mouthing, spinning in circles, breath-holding, hand flapping, and staring off into space. But the worst thing that happened was that he disconnected himself from everyone, but especially Angela.Angela never wants another parent to go through what her family had to endure. In this highly personal and emotional account of their journey, she tells readers what they did and how much it helped Vincenzo. It was never about who or what to blame for autism, it was all about moving forward. If hearing Vincenzo's story can help just one other child, then sharing their difficult journey will have been worthwhile.
