Expert Interview #29 Cammie McCovern author of Hard Landings: Looking into the Future for a Child with Autism


Listen Later

Cammie McGovern is the author of three novels for adults and two for young adults. Say What You Will is her YA book that includes a character struggling with OCD. Her book Hard Landings explores the territory for children with autism once they age out of disability services at 21. Every parent with an anxious child struggles with how much to push their child and how to find the right balance between protecting and preparing their child for adulthood.
