My
name is Lisa Davis and I am currently teaming up with writer and neuroscientist
Tricia Bliven Chasinoff to publish a book in the series called Easy to
Love But... The first of the series, Easy to Love But Hard to
Raise, is already published and out in bookstores and available on-line.
Easy to Love but Hard to Raise is an anthology of personal essays written by
parents of children with ADD, ADHD, OCD, PDD, ASDs, SPD, PBD and/or other
alphabet soup diagnoses that takes the already difficult job of parenting and
adds to the challenge.
Ours
is second in the series, and will expand the focus beyond raising children with
disabilities. The current book will address the experiences of children,
siblings, spouses, and others who have close relationships with people who have
been diagnosed with one of these "invisible disabilities". We
are also interested in hearing first-hand accounts of people who have been
living with these disabilities. While this book will not address
parenting, per se, we will be including some stories from parents, specifically
parents of adult children with disabilities or parents who have been affected
by multiple generations of disabilities (i.e., when both parent AND child
are affected).
We need more
stories and we'd love to hear yours! You can
e-mail triciaandlisa@gmail.com for more information.
