Jennifer Cook O'Toole from Asperkids.com talks about her journey from being diagnosed to writing a series of bestselling books on having Asperger's and raising a child with Aspergers. Jennifer is on the spectrum, as is her husband and her 3 children. Finally, Larry Houser, the founder of Fullerton Cares, shares from an Autism Dad's perspective how important and rewarding it is when you get involved!
