All Truth, No Lies: A Collection of Poems by a Mother Raising 3 Autistic Children & The Trauma It Awoke.

I am a 44 year old mother of three disabled children, including autism, tourettes, learning difficulties, complex health needs and a whole bunch more. Caring for them over the course of 17 years (so far) I have had more tears than smiles. Having to deal with impossible challenges along the way it triggered my own mental health issues (adhd, ptsd and an anxiety disorder) which I had no option but to deal with. Writing all my thoughts down in poetry - be it the good, the bad and the ugly has saved me from many a dark day and I have found relief by getting it out of my head. I hope these poems can help others who may encounter the same feelings.
