Defeating Autism: A True Life Story of a Mother's Unwavering Faith (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781724143563)

Nothing is as good as knowing that parents of autistic children can exert positive authority over them through the power of God which brings total healing. This authority, when exercised, makes it easier for teachers or therapists to achieve positive results with the child. The truth is, once God gives you a child, whether challenged or not, He also empowers you to help that child fulfil his or her destiny. This book chronicles my experience of having three kids at their early years with symptoms of autism with no knowledge of what autism was and having to be in an environment that was ignorant as at that time. There was so much stigma from the society in that environment towards my kids- stigma of being laughed at in school by other kids, the stigma of not behaving normally like other kids in the school or seeming to lack home training, stigma about whether you had done something wrong in the past which has resulted in your kids behaving this way.Not knowing who to run to, I focused on God, their creator, knowing fully well that He must surely have 'instructions' for me on how to take care of His children (instructions are what I call my God's therapy). And as I followed the instructions through prayers and meditations on His Word, I gained more positive authority over my children. God gave me specific prayer points for each of them and specific teaching therapies. This authority gave me a different perspective of the challenges my children were facing. I began to see my children as who the Word of God says they are and made positive declarations over them everyday. Today, my children are doing exceptionally well, excelling brilliantly in their academics and exhibiting great potentials for the future.The work of different professional therapists and the advent of the internet has brought about greater awareness about autism. However, engaging a professional therapist is quite expensive. I did not know about professional therapy until my last child was four years old and even then, I couldn't afford it so I went back to the strategy that got me victory for my first two children - engaging the power of God's instructions. The causes of autism are still being investigated and there is no known cure for it yet; it can only be managed. I have specifically written this book for parents who do not want to manage autism but desire total victory for their children.
