“On Tuesday My Nipples Were On Fire: How Autism, Hormones, and Random Strangers Stole My Sanity is one mother’s humorous take on her family. Her five autistic and “normal” kids are an endless source of amusement. Listening in as she recounts the conversations that take place in her home is like watching a slightly warped reality show. Only with more cats. Whether you have autistic kids or normal ones, you’ll enjoy this family who has learned that autism is NOT a tragedy!”
Everyone deals with pain, adversity, health, something. Tami Lynn Tate, like 1 out of 31, of American families lives with autistic children. We all deal with everyday life differently. Tami chooses to find humor and compassion. She expresses her life through her book, On Tuesday My Nipples Were On Fire: How Autism, Hormones, and Random Strangers Stole My Sanity.
While reading this book, out loud to my wife, we both laughed until we cried as each anecdote exuded one hilarious calamity after another explaining the real life of autism in stark reality.
Erma Bombeck, “who made the world laugh” gave us, “If you can’t make it better, you can laugh at it.” And, “When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, ‘I used everything you gave me.’” I began to think of Tami Tate as the Erma Bombeck of autism.
I urge you to take your mind off of your current condition and step into Tami’s shoes for a moment. You can find Tami’s book at: https://www.amazon.com/Tuesday-Nipples-Were-Fire-Strangers/dp/1495453049 .
