Sachiko and Masato Azuma have overcome numerous obstacles in dealing with their firstborn son Hikaru's autism. Having saved their marriage from ending in ruins, the young couple has welcomed a healthy baby girl, Kanon, into their tight-knit family. But with the obvious differences between Hikaru's and Kanon's developmental abilities, it becomes apparent that social prejudices against Hikaru's disability are never far away. As Hikaru moves into fourth grade, Sachiko encounters a new student, Miyu, whose mother has completely given up on her daughter's life and her own. With the help of Hikaru's beloved teacher, Aoki-sensei, Sachiko aims to bring hope back to Miyu's family. But when Aoki-sensei transfers to a different school and Hikaru's special education class is thrown into upheaval by yet another tragedy, can Sachiko continue to hold on to her own hope for her son's future?

More About With the Light: Raising an Autistic Child
It's hard to forget hurtful things, isn't it? Children with autism have good memories. So it's much harder for them to forget bad experiences than it is for us. So fill them with as many good experiences as possible. Keiko Tobe, With the Light: Raising an Autistic Child // Laughter sometimes hurts us, and sometimes it makes us feel better. No matter how down you feel... laughter brings a new ray of hope. Laughter brings happiness to the home. A smiling face is the best reward you can see. Keiko Tobe, With the Light: Raising an Autistic Child // I'm always hoping that it will be his last tantrum. Keiko Tobe, With the Light: Raising an Autistic Child //
Good book, though I could not have anywhere near the patience/insight of the mother in the face of the new teacher. I'd have lost my mind.More interesting information about autism and working with autistic children. My only complaint is that the information sometimes feels a little too spread out. Another volume in the series. This one didn't pack as much of an emotional punch as the first one for me, but I found it very interesting as a teacher to see the strategies employed in the special needs classroom. It also did a great job of debunking the whole "special needs teaching is a soft job" assumption that some people seem to... I liked this second volume better then the first, as you see how the family deals with having a second child and Hikaru continues to grow. The story sucks you in and you just can't put it down as you experience the emotional ups and downs.
