Shonda Schilling, NY Times best selling author and wife of retired Boston Red Sox All-Star pitcher Curt Schilling, will share with us the painful and joyous story of her son Grant's struggle with autism, how it changed her life and that of her husband, and what other parents can learn about this increasingly common diagnosis.
Mrs. Schilling has agreed to stay with us after her presentation to answer questions and to autograph copies of her book. Copies will be available for purchase before and after the presentation. All proceeds benefit Understanding Disabilities.
