Travelling by Train

A mother's fight for her children. Behind clinical approaches to autism are real human beings with real lives. This is just one of them. Written by an autistic parent, this book looks at the situation they faced when playing a game where nobody told them the rules. What would you do when faced with such circumstances? What would you do to fight a system that assumes guilt until innocence can be proved? How would you fight for your children’s right to a family life when your approach to life is to simply tell the truth? This is a story of resilience and determination in the face of great odds, driven by a mother’s love for her children.

Laurie Morgen is a UK based social entrepreneur, speaker and trainer. She designs and delivers autism training workshops to educators, health and social care professionals, parents and anyone with a social conscience. She was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome in 2006.

The book angered me in parts, made me laugh in others but ultimately inspired me.

A heartbreaking true testimony to a parent’s love and dedication...
