NATIONAL BESTSELLER

With her popular blog,
Finding Cooper's Voice, Kate Swenson has provided hope and comfort for hundreds of thousands of parents of children with Autism. Now, Kate shares her inspiring story in this powerful memoir about motherhood and unconditional love

When Kate Swenson’s son Cooper was diagnosed with severe, nonverbal autism, her world stopped. She had always dreamed of having the perfect family life. She hadn’t signed up for life as a mother raising a child with a disability.

At first, Kate experienced the grief of broken dreams. Then she felt the frustration and exhaustion of having to fight for your child in a world that is stacked against them. But through hard work, resilience and personal growth, she would come to learn that Cooper wasn’t the one who needed to change. She was. And it was this transformation that led Kate to acceptance—and ultimately joy. In Forever Boy, Kate shares her inspiring journey with honesty and compassion, offering solace and hope to others on this path and illuminating the strength and perseverance of mothers.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Not Just For Autism Parents

Everyone should read this book. What an incredible story of a mother's unwavering love for her child and a reminder that it's okay to experience and express a multitude of emotions when life doesn't turn out the way you'd planned. Would highly recommend to anyone.

I love Cooper's smile. He is very good at his speech generating device. Try Rapid Prompting Method. I believe he jas full potential to express himself by spelling. Always try one new thing.. as you said.

I learned a lot from this book

This book taught me a lot and I loved listening to Kate’s journey. Which wasn’t easy but she never gave up. Kate thanks for writing this book, I hope it helps more people understand the struggles people go through and that not everyone is on the same journey.

heartwarming

everyone who knows a child, has a child, or may someday have a child should hear what Kate has to say about the true love a parent should have for their child no matter what illness or disability they may have or whether they are so called normal. I've worked in the school system with special needs and in the main stream and often wish that parents in the main stream would put half the effort into their child that the parents of special needs put into their children. Kate shows how to fight for every child!

Feel seen and heard

As a mother who is currently awaiting diagnosis for her first son, I have never felt so seen and heard. Although our sons struggle in very difficult areas the parallels of feelings as mothers is uncanny. The worries and concerns but also the pure joy and happiness expressed can be extremely overwhelming. Listening to your hardships and crying realizing the oh so close to home feelings I have felt myself while simultaneously laughing as you tell light hearted stories of Cooper. Thank you Kate for writing this book, making me feel less alone, for spreading Autism Awareness, advocating for our children and for providing hope. When I look at my perfect son, I would never want to change anything about him but I often wonder why him? Why me? Why our family? And I instantly feel guilty but I now know I’m not alone in my feelings and they are okay. I hope this review finds you. I’m asking all my closest friends and family to read a copy because I so eloquently describes what it’s like to be a mother to a child with Autism. Thanks again Kate, I’m now following alone on Instagram, add another supporter to the list <3 Much Love ~ Haley

Beautiful

Been wanting to read/listen to this book for a while and glad I finally did. Having a nonverbal daughter myself, I see a lot of her in Cooper and it warms my heart. Beautiful story.
