After their children are smuggled out of the Jewish Ghetto in Warsaw, two Jewish women, who hate each other, are smuggled out together and must rely on each other in order to survive.

This book is intended to help other parents who are currently in the situation we were in. Our baby, only one year old, was discovered to have developmental delays. We knew nothing about autism at this time but was urged by knowledgeable friends to get him evaluated. We followed through and did not wait. As a result of his evaluation he was placed into an early intervention program with the Lanterman Regional Center in Los Angeles, California. He is eight now and still a client at Lanterman. This book is about his first five years in the autism system. It explains our experiences with those first few at-home therapies, his first speech therapy, his OT evaluation, his first IEP, and kindergarten. During these transitional years (our transition from typical parents to autism parents and his transition from typical kid to autism kid) we had a huge learning curve, the learning curve for autism is mind boggling! We threw ourselves into helping our son and learning all we could and keeping on top of his services and his intervention. This book documents the good and the bad during this time. I intend this book as a learning experience, and hopefully your road within the autism system will be smoother.

Remember the show when Monty…It was the end of one of the Let's Make A Deal shows and Monty Hall, the host, asked a woman in a Geisha girl costume, "I'll give you $200 if you have any Japanese money on you." She didn't.Monty then went over to a guy dressed in a sailor suit and said, "If you have a bosun's whistle on you I'll give you $200." He did not.So he found a woman holding a doll feeding her a baby's bottle. "I took the baby's bottle away from her," said Monty, "and I said to her, 'Show me another nipple and I'll give you $200!'" The audience went crazy. "I didn't mean that one!" Monty said compounding the issue. Now the audience was rolling in the aisles. And that's how they went off the air that day.It was the only time in 23 years of "Let's Make A Deal" that Monty turned beet-red. Monty Hall, the man who revolutionized day-time television and became game show's first super-star was totally embarrassed.Most of us remember Monty Hall as the glib, handsome, personable emcee of game shows. There is so much more to the man. So much more. And it's all told in the form of stories from those who knew him best. His children, his cousin, his co-workers, his friends.If you thought you knew him, wait till you read "Remembering Monty Hall". Like we said, there's so much more to the man.
