Coming to terms with Autism
I really enjoyed reading No Matter What. Knowing only a little bit about Autism it gave a great insight to a family who had to come to terms with their son's Autism and how they coped. Despite all the struggles it goes to show that you can create a supportive and nurturing environment. The book tells you of a story of how one mother has dealt with it all with a positive attitude despite what at times must feel like a constant up hill struggle. It was an easy read and very informative. "Mona"

POWERFUL MESSAGE ON AUTISM
“No matter What� is an amazing story of a mother’s belief and a powerful message to others in a similar situation. It’s a message to “Love your child and accept them for who they are�, as this is so important for the child’s self-esteem. Sandy is a strong and determined lady and has showed her skills at being a naturally good teacher and a successful parent, by being there for Steven and at the same time a fulltime mum to Riana. “No Matter What� brings hope to parents to be positive and give them confidence to move forward.

No Matter What - The author has captured her journey with her son Steven and documented her experiences and action plans very well. For parents in similar circumstances this book will be a great help especially to read of a similar experience and for referal use on the educational aspect. It must have been hugely challenging and rewarding at the same time when Sandy decided to take matters into her own hand and educate Steven at home. I didn't know much about autism at all but reading "No Matter What" gave me an insight into their world. The essence of the book is so captured in the title itself. "Ruwini"

Essential Reading on Autism
Loads of insights on the medical aspects of autism and on how to help an autistic child develop to their full potential. For me, the highlight is the section describing Sandy's own experiences with her son Steven - the traumas, the hopes, the frustrations the love and the fun. If you are interested in autism - whether as somebody with a friend or relative with autism, or if you are involved in a professional capacity with autism - then this book will help you to understand all aspects of the condition and its effects on the family.

This book is full of advice and helpful information for parents seeking to enrich their Autistic child's life.An uplifting,inspirational book.I feel that this book is written from the view of not only the writer, but gives one insight into an Autistic child's world as an Autistic child's world is a lonely world.The writer has given advice and meaning to help the child interact with others.Without this interaction,the child would stay in their own world unable to let people in.The writer has given personal accounts of battles she has endoured to ensure the best care for her child,medically and educationally,and also with coping with the diagnosis of Autism.

"Fantastic"
I read this book in no time. Once I bought it, quite simply, I couldn't put it down! Sandy Howarth is an amazing woman and chosen to share her journey with us for the benefit of others. It is a very personal story outlining the joy, love, fear, hopes, worries and many other emotions, of having a child with autism. Thank you Sandy for sharing this with us, it is a brilliant read. Steven is very lucky to have you as a mother.

"Knowing virtually nothing about Autism I read this book with interest, I thought it easy to read and written in a style that would be understandable to a person who knows nothing about Autism and the problems found in the condition. I was quite exhausted after reading it and I greatly admire the determination of the author to achieve what she believes in." Pat Hunt

‘ No Matter What’ by Sandy Howarth paints a vivid portrait of the emotional experiences a parent goes through after discovering that her first child has a disability. After that initial shock at a young age, in her book we get a glimpse of her determination and will to succeed in creating a better life for the child in the face of numerous challenges. The narrative would be quite helpful to any parent who is faced with similar situations. It explores support structures that are essential. The book provides guidance on a path to follow and is highly recommended. Nihal J

Fresh energetic insight into Autism

"NO MATTER WHAT is an inspiring book that offers a fresh, energetic insight to Autism. The author, Sandy Howarth offers an uplifting detailed account of the challenges she faces in her day to day life. As a teacher the information within “No matter what” gave me an insightful explanation of the condition and offered genuine ideas and understanding to help me within my occupation. The author brings her daily struggles to life as a mother tackles adversity, offering understanding, hope and optimism. Her sincere writing approach helped me realise some of lifes realities and casts a humbling approach to putting “things into perspective” I would recommend the book to all readers. Ricky"

"No matter what"it is truly a book well worth reading. Sandy is doing all it takes to help Steven reach his heights beside her going through all the tribulations. I have highly recommended this book to the head of the school I work for in Sweden, so that we all can learn from this book which is full of first hand information, to help other children with Autism and their parents in their journey through life.
