Clara Park has four children, the youngest of whom, Jessica, is autistic. At the time Jessica was born the prevailing wisdom was that a neglectful and cold mother caused the autism. Rather than accepting that wrongheaded thinking, Clara and her husband David enlisted Exiting Nirvanaexperts and 50 or more hired helpers to work with Jessy  with the result that Jessy is a functioning person.
