Being autistic, to me, means a lot of different things, but one of the best things is that I can be so happy, so enraptured about things no one else understands and so wrapped up in my own joy that, not only does it not matter that no one else shares it, but it can become contagious. This is the part about autism that I can never explain. This is the part I never want to lose.' Julia Bascom's depiction of the joy of autistic obsessions tells a story about autism that is very rarely told. It tells of a world beyond impairments and medical histories, where the multiples of seven can open a floodgate of untranslatable joy, where riding a train can make everything feel perfectly sized and full of light, and where flapping your hands just so amplifies everything you feel. The Obsessive Joy of Autism will resonate powerfully with other autistic people, and encourage those who have a person with autism in their lives to look out for that joy, to chase it, to get obsessed.

This book was written to let parents of children on the autism spectrum know that they did nothing wrong and that their child or children being on the spectrum is in no way their fault. I did everything right with my third child and only son, and he was diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum. I believe that we as parents of these exceptional children have been given the opportunity to love these uniquely beautiful, smart, bright, talented, and loving children unconditionally and for us, as parents, to experience the absolute joy of receiving their pure and sincere unconditional love, which ultimately brings us an indescribable joy that words cannot express. I thank God for this unique opportunity, and I would not change it for the world. This sunrise reminded me that God has given me the opportunity to watch my own son rise out of the gray mist of autism. Amen.

In 1999, the statement "Give me the red cup" was nothing more than a teaching tool for Susan Moore Vosseler as she worked with the unique needs of persons diagnosed with autism. But since that time, the statement has taken on a whole new level of profundity for Vosseler-one that has been an incredible inspiration for both her and others. Collected here are ten brief stories from Vosseler's career in autism. From the first child she worked with to the boy who despised music, from the time she helped cook a bus to the time she moved mountains, the stories in Give Me the Red Cup are heartfelt but deliberate, as each tale highlights a specific value that Vosseler encountered. These recollections are an expression of sincere gratitude for the great lessons that each child, parent, therapist, teacher, and friend demonstrated over the course of her career. Honest and inspirational, these stories touch the heart of anyone who lives or works in the world of autism and invites all readers to know the joy in every day, in any moment. How would you teach give me the red cup? was a pivotal moment for Vosseler. This little book honors that moment by highlighting and honoring just a few more moments in the nearly twenty years since. At the end of the book, Susan Moore Vosseler invites readers to notice and collect their own joys...an on-going, living awareness of joy. Much as the moment continues for Vosseler. Joy pervades.

When two year old Daniel lay motionless on the floor staring at the ceiling, his mother had no idea that he was exemplifying the first symptoms of what would be diagnosed as autism two years later. The emergency room visit on that June 2002 afternoon resulted in a forty-eight hour hospital stay where Daniel was afterwards discharged with a simple, "rough horseplay" diagnosis. However, within the weeks that followed he lost his speech, hearing, and cognitive skills, eventually slipping into a world of his own. Daniel was born a very healthy, bouncing, bundle of joy. He was an even more active toddler. However, in one moment of time his laughter ceased, the pitterpatter of his little feet racing through the house ended, and his voice that was once heard in family conversations was replaced by ear-piercing screams and whines as he tried to communicate his needs. Convinced that Daniel was misdiagnosed, his mother prayed and began to seek help. Without knowing the giant she was facing, she relentlessly looked for answers and found them. On May 19, 2004, Daniel was diagnosed with autism. But that was not the end of the story! Instead, it was just the beginning! Rainbow Over My House is the amazing story of Daniel's journey from pain and agony, to triumphant victory over autism! As you read this wonderful story you will laugh, cry tears of joy, and even cheer as it shares details of Daniel's victory, such as him winning a potato sack race at a picnic! Expect your faith to be ignited as you find the hope and courage to once again believe in miracles!
