Make a Wish for Me (Chergey)

Discussion Questions
1. How would a diagnosis (of any kind) for your child affect you or your family?

2. The author uses the word "recovery" in the title, do you think this was intended as recovered from autism or recovered from the diagnosis?

3. How important do you think it is for a child with special needs to have a sibling? How could it be negative?

4. Prior to reading the book, what was your understanding of Autism?

5. If you take away the autism, do you feel this could stand as a universal story of motherhood?
