I'm sure I've told you that our oldest boy (Isaiah) is a classical autistic (moderate on the spectrum), and it is encouraging to see how much attention is given to this subject now. It's important to remember that the mind of an autistic person works much differently than ours, and even differently than other autistic individuals. Patience and tolerance is of utmost importance when dealing with autistic people. Our son's autism has been life-changing for me, and I've made it my life's passion to learn as much as I can about this debilitating dysfunction. It's fitting that you gave it attention on the first World Autism Day! Thanks for reviewing a book about an autistic individual, Josh.
