(BENDIGO, AUSTRALIA) - Author Kelly Andrews today announced the release of 100 Kisses of Autism (ISBN # 9781742841069), a collection of 100 anecdotes based upon the authors journey as a parent of an autistic son, and living with the effects of this complex neurodevelopment disorder.

From the early challenges and hardships, to finding the "100 Kisses of Autism", Kelly's book aims to open the eyes and hearts to the world of the autistic mind seen through the vision of loved-filled humour, each kiss in the book is a beautiful or entertaining moment in passing:
