Lynn Rivera

Lynn Rivera (Engr ’83) has written Love in the Time of Autism: A Memoir, a collection of haibun essays about raising her son who has been diagnosed with autism. Sometimes funny, sometimes painful, her stories run the gamut of human emotion as she searches for answers to the questions of parenting a son on the autism spectrum. Though she offers little advice, she describes implicitly the transformation of her family, the growth of understanding and patience, and ultimately, the power of love.
