Having encountered the author in person, I had expectations of this book. I anticipated a straightforward, honest account of what it is like to live with a parent an autistic child. And that is what I got. I feel that I have gained interesting insights into a world of which I am never likely to have very direct experience. In some ways, I think the book is squarely aimed at readers who are in a similar situation to the author. However, even if I fall outside of the intended audience, I hope that I may be just a little better at interacting with any autistic people that I might meet and appreciate the challenges of their carers. IMHO, it is a worthwhile read for the “lay reader”.
