The Warner Boys Our Family’s Story of Autism and Hope eBook Curt Warner Ana Warner Dave Boling

The entire time I was reading this compelling and evocative book, I kept thinking about how much fortitude Curt Warner and his wife, Ana, had to continue day after day in their struggles. Their twin sons, Christian and Austin were diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) ...but only after many visits to the Pediatricians.

Twenty years ago not much was known about ASD. Ana and Curt were on their own trying to figure out many things including whether or not diet could be a contributing factor and if there was any way to change the aggressive behavior of the twins. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated recently that 'one in sixty-eight children in America has ASD'. Such an incredible number and on the rise in recent years.

While reading I kept trying to put myself into their environment for just one day. Absolutely would not be able to care for either of them unless I had lots of assistance. It would be a constant act of being vigilant just in trying to keep up with the behavior. And, patience, my word....what patience. And, for over twenty years, both parents have been supportive and loving.

Love, a strong faith and respect...each of these contributed to the fortitude of both Curt and Ana. I can only imagine how it must have felt to remain positive for all of these years.

A journey of so many, many small steps. Just imagine as a mother hearing your son say his first sentence when he was nine years of age.

I will be thinking about the 'Warner Boys' for a long time in the future. Excellent, just excellent...

Most highly recommended.

The Warner Boys Our Family’s Story of Autism and Hope eBook Curt Warner Ana Warner Dave Boling Reviews

I give The Warner Boys only three stars not because it wasn't a beautiful story but because of the timing of the story. If this book was released twenty years ago when nobody understood what autism was, then I would be more impressed. I give credit to anyone who opens up and tells the world of their personal life experiences especially when it has so much potential to help others experiencing the same challenges. But no matter how much I enjoyed this book, I just can't justify a five star rating, as so many of the reviews I read proclaimed. These First books are available to us, the reader, to read and review in advance so as to inform others readers of the quality and context in which they are spending their hard earned money. In my opinion, most readers are handing out five star ratings like candy on Halloween.
I have several good friends with children who have various levels of autism. I thought this would be interesting to read about another family and their stories. I felt the writing was rather disjointed and at times confusing. I felt little to no real connection to Curt due too his writing style and constant talk of sports. Ana was better, but at times she seemed to ramble more than explain. Focus was lacking and certain things like the house destruction was discussed so often, though vaguely, and yet PANDAS was glossed over. That would have been a subject they could have expanded on. Same with their health and true emotional wellbeing. The comments about vaccines bothered me as well, as did the plug for Go Fund Me. Seems they are loving which I give them credit for. If I could do a half star this would get a 2.5
Wow! This book needs to be given to ALL those who are raising a child with autism. Ana and Curt each take turns in sharing the story of their lives together with a little of their background thrown in also. Like most of us, they thought their marriage was going to be a fairy-tale. That soon changed when their firstborn (a boy) was stillborn. Then along came Jonathan, followed 18 months later by twins, Austin and Christian.

Ana felt blessed to be a mom to three boys and was proud of her husband, Curt, who after being a running back with the Seahawks and Rams was now developing his own car dealership in Seattle. When the twins reached the age of two, Ana and Curt noticed that their personalities were changing. Despite reaching out for help and answers, Doctors were no help in those early years. Curt and Ana thought themselves to blame for the twins increasingly poor behavior. Finally in 1999, just before the twins turned 5, a diagnosis! Autism Spectrum Disorder aka ASD. A total shock.

What follows is the story of therapies, food adjustments, destruction, endurance, exhaustion, faith, hope and so much more. This story brings the reader right up-to-date with the twins now in their 20's. Not only that but Curt and Ana adopted a little girl during all this.

IMPORTANT to note that this is not a "fluffy", good feel story. This was HARD for these folks to write as they had to relive much of what they would rather forget. HOWEVER for those with younger autistic children, it can provide you with hope. NO, the twins have not been cured. NO, the boys cannot live independently BUT their parents have chosen to focus on their strengths rather than their weaknesses. Curt and Ana have also kept their faith and marriage alive. A truly AMAZING TRUE story that will bless all who read it. Although traumatic and heartbreaking at times, this book is an easy read. It feels as if Curt and Ana are sat talking with you. It is very well written and there are some family photos scattered throughout the book for you to enjoy. Curt and Ana are Christians and make no secret of that HOWEVER this book is not preachy. It is for folks from all walks of life and beliefs.

HIGHLY recommended! I chose this book as my November First Read. I was not required to write a review but chose to do so. Thanks, Liz
This is a no frills book showcasing a family who knew fame and heartbreak. Well written. it doesn't promise solutions but shows the grit and determination of love and learning. Any parent will appreciate the honesty of dealing with children who are incredibly difficult to raise. I live close to where they settled after Curt Warner left his career in sports. The dealership had a good reputation and the hard work by this couple offers some hope that people will learn from the stories of their lives. True life heros in every sense of the word.
