Subtitle: how autism shattered our lives - and made a family from the pieces
First published: 2008
Description: "David is eleven years old. He's a happy, healthy and affecionate boy who loves school, Disney songs and climbing trees. But he's also profoundly autistic. David can only speak a few words and is barely capable of expressing his most basic needs. He's oblivious to danger; blind to other people's emotions and deaf to their pleas. A Real Boy is David's story. With raw honesty Christopher and Nicola Stevens lay bare their experiences, which are harrowing, humorous and inspirational."--Back cover.
