Journeying with Joshua

Reflections on Raising an Autistic Child

for Parents, Teachers and Friends

 By Dr. Lois N. Spitzer

 You have just been told you child is autistic.

Who can you turn to?  Who can give you advice?

Lois Spitzer began to suspect that her son, Joshua, was autistic around the time he was two years old.  This life changing discovery cast her on a journey in which fears, hopes, joys and sorrows became daily companions.   Having a child with autism is not the end of the world.  It is the start of a journey replete with surprises and incredible delights.  In this collection of reflections, you’ll learn how one family helped their special son grow and overcome challenges by enlisting a bevy of friends, teachers and other very special people and organizations.

Dr. Lois N. Spitzer is a linguist who earned her Doctorate of Education in Applied Psycholinguistics from Boston University.  She is currently a high school English as a Second Language teacher in New Jersey, where she lives with her husband Lee, son Joshua, daughter Larisa, and Peanut the family’s beagle.
