"From Autism... To All-Star" gave me a new perspective on autism -- the real-time, as-it-happens experience of a parent discovering that her child is autistic. Because Rhonda Brunett wrote this book as a journal to her son, Jordan, beginning before he was born, it is truly a first-hand account of her experience as she recognizes and accepts Jordan's autism. It is deeply personal and at times painful to read. The words were meant to be a child's keepsake. Instead, they become the documentation of discovery that this child is different than the others. The contrast between the words Rhonda writes to Jordan, and the accounts of family, friends, teachers, and other observers are especially moving. Those on the outside looking in see Jordan's differences long before his mother is ready to acknowledge them. Until she does, she becomes a woman on the edge, and we are right there with her. It is a privileged glimpse into this family's lives. Thank you Rhonda Brunett!

Hi, I am a parent of a child with autism, also very high functioning. I thought this book might be insightful or inspirational. There is no real depth from the parents, and you get no real sense of the steps they took to help their child. I am thrilled for them that their son is doing so well, but this book is only good for someone who has read very little and/or has a extremely high functioning child. I would not recommend it.

Did you ever wonder why children grow up the way they do? If so read this book and you will understand why it is so very important to give your child love and the right support that is needed to teach your child because without the love and support the child might grow up feeling as if they don't deserve to be here and end up getting into the wrong way of living. In this book Rhonda the mother of Jordan brings you through a spectacular journey on what it was like for her to love and educate her son Jordan who has autism. Although this book is based on a child with autism I feel that parents and teachers should use Rhonda's methods on how to love, teach and support not only the autistic child but the normal child as well.

I recommend this book to anyone working with children or needing information on autism. It is interesting and holds attention while educating the reader about autistic children. It is a positive book about discovery and hard work to over come obstacles.
Rhonda Brunette is completely honest about her experience and it is from the heart and unselfish desire that she presents this book to help other people.

From Autism to All-Star is a great book for those interested in learning more about the discovery of autsim in a very personal accounting. Brunett's story carries you through her life as a mother, captivating the reader with her 6th sense, inviting them into her entire experience. This true story is touching and brave - a must read!
