Christine Stephan, certified RDI Program Consultant, has contributed an essay to the book, Gravity Pulls You In. The anthology, with a foreward by John Elder Robison, author of the New York Times Best Seller, Look Me In The Eye, was recently named a finalist for the Non Fiction/ Anthology category from the International Book Awards.
In 33 essays and poems, mothers and fathers raising children on the autism spectrum explore their lives in the context of autism's own special gravity, discovering what's important and what they find centering. Within these accounts of fierce love and keen regard for their unique children, lie moments of exceptional clarity and transformation. Christine's essay, Navigating Autism, depicts the journey that led her family to embrace RDI and reclaim her hold on motherhood. An excerpt of her essay can be found here.
