About this product
Product Information
My Son's Not Rainman is a heartfelt and uplifting account of everyday events in the life of John and his son (The Boy). The Boy is ten years old and autistic. He isn't a genius. His only special power is making his dad laugh. Alot. Following the success of the blog of the same name, John talks not just about the difficulties of having a child who is considered different but also the joy in living with someone who looks at the world in a unique way. This isnt a story about autism. It's a story about a young boy who happens to have autism, and there is a big difference. It does relate the struggles of getting a diagnosis for The Boy and the dismay of having his child excluded from schools. However, John very rarely dwells on the downside of his son's condition, preferring instead to look at the happiness his son gives him and the understanding it has given him to look at the world anew. Funny and heart - warming, this is a book about living with the often frustrating, bewildering but always fascinating world of the autistic mind. It's about finding the positive in everything, from the joy and wonder of the Special School Disco to the unadulterated thrill of getting the front seat on the Docklands Light Railway. Ultimately, it's just a celebration of what it really means to be different.Product Identifiers
