Writing Cerebral Palsy: A Story ‘Finding the Calm After the Storm, is different to the blog. In the book, I talk about my experiences, my life and my disability, in a way that helps each of us understand our lives.

Living with autism is like watching a mouse on a ferris wheel go round. Unless you find a resolve on your issues, your concerns continue and that can add to anxiety.

For me, writing was an act of self-care and self-love. It is a life based on the 'universal principles,' it is a tool that accompanies us through our daily lives.

In the book I show how we can accept the most difficult of circumstances and navigate the most difficult waters. It is perfect for the pandemic.

My books deal with mental health. You can grab paperback and Kindle copies on Amazon, or through the following link https://linktr.ee/Ilana_Estelle

  1. I agree. Seriously, everyone should have their own pick me up copy of your book.

    We know what you bring to your blogs, to others. Your book is that and more.

    1. Thanks for the thumbs up. Yes, my disability makes it difficult for me to comprehend the enormity of what I have achieved and that's a shame.

      I am genuinely happy that others are able to benefit from my book.
