Wake-up sounds

The book by the Třešňák couple tells the story of raising a daughter with autism associated with mental retardation and severe behavioural symptoms

The book is not primarily a testimony about autism, but rather about the search for balance in an extremely difficult life situation and the inner coping with the birth of a disabled child. The parents of the now 14-year-old Dorothy reflect in a readable way on the inner transformation that years of continuous care have brought them, capturing the magical moments of life with an atypical child and the terrifying dramas of her restlessness and self-harm. Interweaving the perspectives of a father and mother, the text alternates narratives of everyday situations with psychological and spiritual reflection.
