Raising Happiness with PTSD!

Raising Happiness with PTSD!

Part 1 of a Mom & Dad’s Journey with Autism & PTSD

A real-life story of parenting, perseverance, and finding joy when life doesn’t go according to plan.

About the Book

Raising Happiness with PTSD! is an honest, heartfelt look into the everyday realities of raising a child while navigating Autism and PTSD as a family.

This is not a clinical guide.
It’s not a perfect-parent handbook.

It’s a true story—messy, hopeful, exhausting, and full of hard-earned joy.

Written from the perspective of parents learning as they go, this book offers encouragement to families who are walking similar roads and reassurance that they are not alone.
