Hello, Dr. Wells

In a moving combination of the personal including poetry and the author’s commentary and the clinical sample therapist surveys, assessment reports, daily logs, and drug evaluations, Ann Dunham’s "Hello, Dr. Wells" is a compelling, fascinating, and highly revealing look into the life of her autistic daughter, Sarah, and the family that has dedicated love and energy toward her growth and development. Writing about the earliest suggestions of a problem to the violent and near-psychotic throes of puberty, from misdiagnoses to the chilling truth about Sarah’s prognosis, Dunham approaches every day and every subject with tenderness, compassion, surprising humor, and a mother’s fear and hope for the future of her beloved daughter.
