"In this book, we are allowed into the honesty of Aaron's struggles; his questions of 'why me?'; his own spiritual development; his inspiring progress and determination to learn actions and behaviours that would make him appear 'normal', to fit in like everyone else. The result: he has 'publicly and officially lost his autism stigma." Pastor Anne Iuliano (Sydney) "A must-read for families coping with autism! This book offers pragmatic suggestions for coping with the uncertainties in the patterns of behaviour of autistic children. Autism has such a wide spectrum that plausibly no two cases are alike."
