Bøger af Marc Rivera

In his new offering, author Marc Rivera explores how friendships can be made in the most unexpected circumstances. All children, whether on the spectrum or not, will benefit from his delightful tale of "Once Upon A Dog."

Can you imagine hearing everything around you all at the same time? For a kid with autism, noises and sounds can even become painful. "Music to My Ears" is a true story about how music made a difference in the life of a boy with autism.

In Tears of Pain: My Life with Autism, Marc Rivera welcomes you to his world of autism and chronicles his daily struggle to fit in to a world so unlike his own. The objective is to help people understand how much individuals in the Autism Spectrum need to be accepted as they are by society. Based on his journal, Marc recounts many of the personal challenges he faced: bullying and ridicule from his peers, poor communication with teachers, trying to make sense of "The Rules" both at school and as a whole - to name a few. In this alien world, Marc felt safe only in his own home. It was there that he felt, for the most part, safe and protected. He could always count on the love and support of his family, although at times they felt just as confused and lost as Marc. Tears of Pain: My Life with Autism is a call to society to enter into the world of autism. Our hope is that readers will gain a better understanding of individuals within the Autism Spectrum. These special people, so similar yet so different from you and me, suffer torment and misunderstanding only because their brains are wired differently.
