Small, nagging signs give way to larger, scarier symptoms. Then the dreaded words, "Your child has autism." The words echo in their heads like a freight train blasting through their hopes and dreams. The moment forever defines their family life. Hope lies in education for parents and teachers. "Stars in Her Eyes" is a guiding star for those seeking information.
