Book Synopsis
** From Struggle to Strength is the winner of a 2024 International Impact Book Award in the Life Experiences - Real-Life Accounts category. **
Many fathers resist assisting their children on the autism spectrum.
Some are too stubborn or macho to accept the autism diagnosis. And once upon a time, Harry Psaros was that guy.
Harry wants to be a voice for dads in the autism fight.
From Struggle to Strength was written so other dads can learn from Harry's mistakes, work with their family to support their child on the spectrum and their successful development, see how his son Gus is thriving with the support of both parents, and ultimately understand that an empowered mindset drives lasting growth and fulfillment in the journey with autism.
From practical advice for nurturing your child's growth to the mental attitudes and mindsets that parents of children with autism need to succeed, From Struggle to Strength helps fathers step up and be the support for their children that they long to be.
Yes, there is confusion on the autism journey. No, there is no step-by-step guide book where you follow a recipe to help your child succeed. But, there is a way to be informed, to be supportive, and to create a unified front as a family fighting on this journey together.
"Harry shares his honesty, doubts and fears in From Struggle to Strength. You will laugh, cry, and be encouraged by his family's journey as they navigate ASD.

Holzer, Autism Mom and Author of Building Puzzles Under Water: An Autism Story
