by Laura Morrissey (Author)
Loving Eric is a mother's story of adoption and the subsequent heartbreaking challenges that the whole family encounters as they come to understand the impact Eric's severe Attachment Disorder, Autism and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) has on everyone's daily lives. The book charts Laura's journey as she searches for answers to better support her family in the ensuing meltdown. Whilst Laura journaled her experiences as they were happening, she did not feel she could publish anything until she had discovered genuine solutions for Eric, herself and her family - and hopefully now, for her readers. This book will appeal to anybody who is interested in a very human story of the triumph of hope over adversity, and also to parents, carers, and professionals alike, who want some answers and new therapeutic approaches that really work.
