Another topic is one growing up or the adolescent stage. Being a mom to 14.5 year old Federic Christian, Mom Chrissy was generous in sharing Fedi’s stories to others. Others were surprised to find out that what typical teens go through is just the same as for those with autism.
One parent realized the importance of spending more quality time with her daughter with autism. Seeing how Mom Chrissy went through with her struggles, the participants didn’t hesitate to know the day-to-day trials and triumphs of this family. They started to ask for her book and stayed longer for more tips on parenting. Afterwards, there was autograph signing.
Chrissy’s son Fedi is now a third year high school student at the New Era University. Fedi’s younger brother Frankie, seven has already decided to marry at 50 to secure his Kuya Fedi’s future before anything else. He speaks candidly of his “would-be wife”…that she must accept his Kuya for who he is…and if she doesn’t, he will kick her out of the house. The book Federic’s Flight is also available at ASP.
