"I am trying to locate families where there is a parent with young onset Parkinson's disease and young children (under the age of 10)." Hi - One of my favorite Parkinson's books of all times is called Parkinson's, A Personal Story of Acceptance by Sandi Gordon. This is Sandi's personal account of experiencing Parkinson's. She had three small children when she was diagnosed at age 29, and had one baby after diagnosis. Her book includes experiences of the whole family. Her three year old had a such a beautiful response when she explained to someone, "My momma can't smile with her face so she smiles with her heart." I think this book is a must for everyone, but I think you would especially enjoy and profit from reading her experiences. It is published by Branden Publishing Company of Boston, MA. Sincerely, Joan (55/7)
