I found this book to be a deeply moving portrayal of a mother whose child has been diagnosed with autism. The account of a mother's experience raising an autistic child was very heartfelt, and at times incredibly poignant.  I read this book as part of my research into autism, and I really appreciated the candid depiction of how this disability affects the parents of autistic children. This book provided me with a great insight into the mind of a mother whose child has a disability, which causes them to be viewed differently by society.The real part of the story is her acceptance of her child's diagnosis and all that it brings with it. The writing flowed very nicely, and I found myself immersed in the story very quickly.  I would recommend this book to parents whose children have autism, as well as to teachers, caretakers, social workers, and others who have daily contact with autistic children.
