The Accidental Teacher: Life Lessons from My Silent Son

A child teaches without intending to…Having severe autism does not stop Annie Lehmann’s son Jonah from teaching her some of life’s most valuable lessons.
The Accidental Teacher
is a heartfelt memoir about self-discovery, rather than illness, and uses insight and humor to weave a tale rich with kitchen-table wisdom. It explains the realities of life with a largely nonverbal son and explores the frustrations and triumphs of Lehmann’s family as Jonah grew into a young adult. This book is a must-read for anyone who has been personally touched by a major life challenge.
