"Essential reading for anybody who needs to learn about pharmacological treatments for severe rage in teenagers and adults with autism." –Temple Grandin, author of Thinking in Pictures

"A powerful compassionate book, offering searing insight into the education of autistic children . . . and into the world of psychiatry." –Community Living Mississauga

The remarkable story of a family's efforts to obtain the best care and the best possible life for their autistic son. My Sad is All Gone is an honest, raw portrayal of the family-life and parental struggles that many loved ones of autistic/PDD/MRDD individuals will identify with. The author, a special ed teacher in Canada, found a very compassionate doctor who unlocked the key to her son's future.

THELMA WHEATLEY, has written a powerful book about raising her autistic son, Julian, (27-years-old at the time of publication). My Sad is All Gone. A Family's Triumph over Violent Autism is the true-life story of how Julian became violent, self-mutilating and psychotic in his teens and the family's struggle to overcome severe rage attacks with the help of a dedicated Toronto doctor, Dr Joseph Huggins.

The book is also a searing insight into the education of autistic children and into the world of psychiatry. Ultimately, Julian is a success. Today he has several jobs in the community where he lives and is a loving, lovable young man.
