Autism, care and affection

In Autism, Care and Affection: The Voice of the Community and Families in University Extension, the authors focus on the intense reality of caregivers for people with autism (ASD). The book recounts the "Embracing" Project, a practical extension initiative that uses art and conversation circles to offer listening and support to these frequently overburdened women. More than an academic report, it is a manifesto against the romanticization of the "warrior mother", proving that true healthcare is not built on technique alone, but demands empathy, affection, and the construction of a solid support network.
