Welcome
Hello and welcome to my website. My name is Pragya Sharma.
I feel extremely proud to present my first book. It is special not just because it is the first time I penned but also because it narrates my experiences of raising a special child.
The idea is to encourage fellow parents to stay persistent and not lose hope. The book does not share a magic solution; rather, it underlines the role of hope, resilience and perseverance that it takes to raise a special child.
Also, my larger aim behind writing is to create awareness about Autism and do my bit towards creating a truly inclusive community for everyone, irrespective of any diagnosis.
A Guide for all Parents
Story Behind The Story
My Inspiration
We are often caught off-guard when life throws a bouncer at us.
I was also not prepared when my son was diagnosed with autism. I started like most others, but eventually, things began to work out for me. However, I still witness so many parents struggling for many years with the most basic questions.
Their struggle inspired me to pen down my experiences; I hope my story gives them some direction.
Most importantly, the idea is to provide them with hope.

Who Should Read This Book?
Parents of Special Kids
Though this book is about my journey while raising a child with autism, this book is not an Autism Guide.
It will be useful for parents of kids with any kind of challenge.
Parents of Young Kids
Special kids are very much a part of our society; a large part of their experience depends upon how teachers, peers and their parents are treating them.
As mentors of typical kids, it is your responsibility to instill sensitivity towards the special kids.
A Responsible Citizen
Autism or any sort of disability can happen to anyone. It does not differentiate as per color, caste, gender, or status.
The more you know, the better you will be prepared. After all, it could happen to your loved ones too.
