The book It’s Going to Be AUlright, presented by visionary author April Green is a collection of stories written by twelve mothers whose children are on the autism spectrum.

This collaborative anthology was created to provide a platform for mothers of loved ones living with autism to share life struggles and lessons learned that will encourage others. Our authors provide real stories, advice, and resources that will help readers achieve personal goals and take action. We want our readers to feel inspired to be bold, not be afraid to try non-traditional approaches, and not fear the diagnosis of autism but rather embrace it and rebuild their lives.

Excerpt from It’s Going to Be AUlright “Through the pain, I began to rely on my faith to help me find my peace.

I found peace with knowing that my three babies were living with autism, peace with knowing that they all have differences that impact with how they see the world and understand that people don’t always understand that. I found peace in knowing that although the road may be rough at times, that it is a rewarding road with purpose”.
