(Braintree Autism Network for Our Daughters and Sons) and the Friends of Thayer Public Library we will be hosting Gina Gallagher and Patricia Konjoian, authors of “Shut Up About Your Perfect Kid”.

This book illustrates the power of humor as a tool for coping, offers practical advice and inspiration for parents and families raising children with disabilities.
