    The master of motivation, Peter A. LaPorta, returns and brings us heart-warming stories of courage, determination, and overcoming adversity. Adventures in Autism takes you around the globe to meet incredible families that live each day under the umbrella of Autism.

    Through the many adventures in the book you will meet such children as Ping Lian, a world class artist and a proven force in the global art community. You will be introduced to David and Terry, two children recovering from Autism through years of biomedical therapies. You will be in awe of the single mother of five boys that juggles her world with three children on the spectrum. Peter even opens the Autism window to his own family and shows us how wonderful life can be living with his son, Peter Jr. Numerous stories within will show you that any circumstance can be overcome.
