AlbakiReads Editorial

Autism, family, and the performing arts

Elaine Hall’s account brings together two strands: her experience raising her son Neal after his autism diagnosis and the development of The Miracle Project, an organization that uses performing arts to connect with children with autism. The book frames Hall’s efforts around supporting Neal’s growing independence, while also describing an approach she presents as unconventional. Its subject reaches beyond one family’s story to consider creative engagement with children with autism and other special needs. The memoir’s perspective is grounded in Hall’s role as a mother and her work as an acting coach.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in memoirs about parenting a child with autism.
  • Readers exploring performing arts programs involving children with autism or other special needs.
  • Those interested in family-focused accounts of disability and independence.

Book overview

"Now I See the Moon provides insightful ways to teach and work with individuals with autism and severe disabilities. It will give parents great hope." -- Temple Grandin, author of Thinking in Pictures

"This magnificent work vividly demonstrates the joy and hope of discovering the creative and emotional capacities which exist in all children, but especially in those children with autism and other special needs." -- Dr. Stanley Greenspan, author of The Child with Special Needs and Engaging Autism

When her son Neal was diagnosed with autism, former Hollywood acting coach Elaine Hall, aka "Coach E," took matters into her own hands and used her resources to guide him toward an increasingly independent life. In the process, she founded The Miracle Project, a groundbreaking organization that uses the performing arts to connect with children with autism. Both controversial and unorthodox, Hall's innovative approach has been praised by leaders in the field of autism. She was also the subject of an Emmy-Award-winning documentary Autism: The Musical. Hall now speaks around the country sharing her wisdom. Now I See the Moon is a story of hope, faith, and miracles; it is a story only a mother could tell.
