Description
Hurricane Dancing is a collection of poems and photographs that tell of the heartbreaks, challenges and joys of raising an autistic child. The intense relationship portrayed here between an autistic daughter and her parents shows that a child can experience love and acceptance regardless of how severe her autism is. Offering hope and encouragement while challenging our own perceptions of autism, these poetic reflections from a mother's perspective together with evocative and sensitive visual insights provided by the photographs convey a message of inspiration and hope.
