About The Book
What does it mean to be a mother when the world doesn’t understand your child? This read is not just another autism story; it’s a raw, beautifully told memoir that captures what it feels like to raise a child who lives in the in-between. Lisa DeMario writes with honesty that breaks your heart and heals it simultaneously. This isn’t a book about easy answers or miracle fixes. It’s a book about showing up for your child when the world won’t. It’s about fighting systems that don’t bend, letting go of what you thought life would be, and finding joy in the places you never expected. It’s about the quiet battles, late-night tears, canceled plans, unspoken grief, and the love that makes it all worth it. Lisa’s voice, raw, human, and unafraid to admit the hard truths, makes this book different. She brings attention to the forgotten ones: the kids who aren’t “disabled enough” for support, the siblings who silently sacrifice, and the parents who carry it all. If you’ve ever felt unseen in your struggle, this book will help you feel understood. If you’ve ever publicly judged a child, this story will open your heart. If you’ve ever loved someone different, it will remind you that their world is worth fighting for. The poems are created in simple, understandable language. They equip readers of all upbringings to admire the beauty and depth of the messages. Each part encourages reflection, endorsing a greater understanding of the self and the world around us. Additionally, the poetic guide serves as a prompt that we all share alike feelings and struggles. We encourage a sense of unity and empathy. If you are looking for motivation, comfort, or just a minute of self-examination, this collection of poems delivers worthy insights and wisdom that can improve your life. Reading “Poetry and Notions” can be inspiring and interesting, making it a worthwhile addition to your shelves.
