Review & Description
How one woman raises three daughters with autism, loses one at
Disney World, stays married, has sex, bakes gluten-free, goes broke,
and keeps her sense of humor.
Check. What to Expect When You’re Expecting? Check. I had a
seven hundred dollar Bellini crib for God’s sake! I was perfect. And so
was Mia when she was born . . ."
...and so begins Kim Stagliano’s electrifying and hilarious memoir
of her family’s journey raising three daughters with autism.
In these stories, Stagliano has joined the ranks of David Sedaris
and Augusten Burroughs with her amazing ability to lay everything
on the table—from family, friends, and enemies to basement
floods to birthdays to (possible) heroin addictions—eviscerating
and celebrating the absurd. From her love of Howard Stern to
her increasing activism in the autism community and exhaustive
search for treatments that will help her daughters, she covers it all.
Always outspoken, often touching, and sometimes heartbreaking,
Kim Stagliano is a powerful new voice in comedic writing—her
“Kimoir” (as she calls it) will be a must-read within the autism
community and the literary world at large. 24 color photographs
