Autism Spectrum Disorder: The Complete Guide To understand Autism by Chantal Sicile-Kira
Autism Spectrum Disorder: The Complete Guide To understand Autism is a non-fictional novel written by Chantal Sicile-Kira, a mother of an autistic child. She uses her past experience to highlight the battles and struggles they have to face on a daily basis and how to overcome those hurdles. Aiming to help parents with autistic kids, this book is filled with anecdotes to inform the readers of the pain and struggles she had to overcome, and how she survived the rough path. This book, in my opinion, is extremely heart-touching and informative. An absolute necessity for parents with autistic kids.
This Is Going To Hurt By Adam Kay
This Is Going To Hurt is a heart-touching book written by an ex-doctor, Adam Kay. This book was almost like his personal diary, including all his thoughts and incidents that he encountered as a doctor, written to highlight the reality and the true nature of a medical career that many sitcoms and dramas masked. I personally found the book heart warming, saddening and also inspiring and would honestly recommend it to anyone planning to studying medicine. It is an excellent book and sheds much needed light on the daily existence of our healthcare staff.
