Man writes book on ‘Dads and Autism’
Hunterdon (N.J.) Review
CALIFON – Borough resident Emerson B. Donnell III will offer a workshop and sign his new book “Dads and Autism, How To Stay in the Game,” this Saturday, Oct. 24, at the Califon Bookstore, 72 Main St.
Donnell’s first workshop will take place at 6:30 p.m. tomorrow, Thursday, Oct. 22, at the Clinton Book Shop, 33 Main St., Clinton.
A second workshop will take place from 2 to 4 p.m. this Saturday, Oct. 24, at the Califon Bookstore, 72 Main St., Califon.
It is open to anyone – parents, professionals, teachers, therapists, or anyone with an interest in a new view of the treatment of autism and in ways to help the families of autistic children.
Book-signings are a new event for 45-year old Donnell but so are many things in his life these days. Ever since his only son, Emerson IV, was diagnosed with autism two years ago, this father’s life has changed radically.
“When we learned that our baby boy was autistic, my wife Jen and I were thrown into another dimension,” says Donnell. “I needed something to help me figure out what to do, so I searched everywhere for information and especially for books.”
