Received the book in good shape. It was written by

a distant cousin of my husband's. He is a man who raised

an autistic child, and he describes well all of the

situations they went through. It gives us a better

understanding of autism. Pretty depressing, but that is

the nature of autism.

My grandson has Asperger's Syndrome so I read a great many books on the subject of autism. This man's personal and heroic struggles with two family members ( his son and his brother ) is written in a straightforward and heartbreakingly soul searching manner. I learned a great many things that I had not found in other books about how to communicate with an autistic person. I also learned that the anguish we who have autistic loved ones feel, is pretty universal, thanks to his honesty. I highly recommend this book to anyone going through life with an autistic person.
