The Smunkarellies – a book about families and autism by Alexander Stewart

“The things that make us different make us special.”
The Patients Experience would like to draw your attention to a new book on autism by Alexander Stewart called “The Smunkarellies”

Alexander Stewart began working on toys and books for children with autism after the diagnosis of his child with autism in 1999. The fight began to give his son the most normal life possible. Early intervention was the key to progress made by his son, and also the love shared between his two oldest brothers. In the end, it is the love of those close to us that helps us triumph over the obstacles of life. This book is about that love, and how three brothers different as they may be, help each other as they grow. Alexander Stewart is a retired US Army Sgt. and a professional boxer and trainer of world champion class MMA fighters such as Jon Jones, Rene Nazare and Mike Stewart.
Alexander says the book “is about the Love between three brothers and how that love helps the younger deal with his Autism. It is also about being different and how being different makes us special. It is my hope that children with Autism will feel that they are not alone with their Autism and their siblings will know they are not the only ones with a brother or sister that has Autism. My sons were the inspiration for this book and the love they showed their little brother. Love is a very powerful thing and can change the outcome of lives.”
