Inspired by Autism  

 

In "Inspired By Autism", Claudreen shares her experiences and struggles in trying to raise a son (PJ) who is handicapped by autism and is now 34 years old. Because PJ is on the lower end of the autism spectrum, he is not "recovered". Claudreen says that PJ is not recovered, but she is.
 
She offers support and encouragement to parents in similar situations by sharing  original poetry, scriptures and quotations that gave her comfort when she needed it. She includes cartoons of actual events that finally made her laugh about autism.
 
Claudreen was married to Pervis Jackson, of the Spinners singing group. Perrvis died in August, 2008, but not before mentoring and encouraging Claudreen as she was writing this book.
