More DescriptionWhen my husband and I adopted three-year old Tyler from Ukraine in 1992, the orphanage director told us, "He just needs to be loved", but Tyler needed much more than love. The product of neglect and abuse, he was a wounded little soul who fought every attempt to be integrated into our family, afraid to trust human relationships. During his first years in America, Tyler was diagnosed with PDD (an autism spectrum disorder), and Tourette Syndrome, leaving my family overwhelmed and ill-prepared to handle such an emotionally fragile little boy. HE JUST NEEDS TO BE LOVED chronicles Tyler's journey from a troubled child to a confident, happy, young man with endless possibilities.
