Autism has touched our life – through family and friends. There was a time when we heard the word Autism and Nate’s name in the same sentence  – as in – Have you looked into seeing if Nate has Autism?  I know Nate has disabilities Learning Differences – but he does not compare to the real deal of Autism that these moms face every day.

I can identify with Kim Stagliao. With her struggles. The Unemployment. Her journey to fight for her kids. Speak up. Speak Out. Her voice is real – raw- and fresh. The last page had my heart in knots, after pages of wit, education and struggle.

I learned about Kim on the internet this week and asked for a copy of her book to give away to one of my readers. She said YES!!  I wish I had ten to pass out  – however, it does hit the book stores this week – so you can download/purchase one for yourself!

More than her amazing KimOir – is her message which needs to get out there.

How one woman raises three daughters with autism, loses one at Disney World, stays married, has sex, bakes gluten-free, goes broke, and keeps her sense of humor.

…and so begins Kim Stagliano’s electrifying and hilarious memoir of her family’s journey raising three daughters with autism. In these stories, Stagliano has joined the ranks of David Sedaris and Augusten Burroughs with her amazing ability to lay everything on the table—from family, friends, and enemies to basement floods to birthdays to (possible) heroin addictions—eviscerating and celebrating the absurd. From her love of Howard Stern to her increasing activism in the autism community and exhaustive search for treatments that will help her daughters, she covers it all. Always outspoken, often touching, and sometimes heartbreaking, Kim Stagliano is a powerful new voice in comedic writing—her “Kimoir” (as she calls it) will be a must-read within the autism community and the literary world at large.

BIO: Hi, I’m Kim Stagliano, wife, Mom, writer, tired. My husband and I have three gorgeous girls – who have autism. Kind of impossible, considering autism affects boys 4:1 over girls. Mark and I have learned that impossible is often inescapable though. My book is humorous look at a life that has been anything but ordinary or easy – and yet is full of laughter, joy and love. I promise, you won’t need a Prozac to read it. 🙂 I’m available for Skype bookclub appearances and would love to learn about your story.
