When we tell someone that our child is autistic the most common response is a sad face & an apologetic look. I hate it when people say 'I'm sorry to hear that' Parenting a child on the autistic spectrum can be tough at the best of times but few books take the time to celebrate the love & laughter an autistic child can elicit in their parents & those around them. In this warm honest & laugh-out-loud tale of bringing up Bobby now ten Georgina Derbyshire shares & rejoices in his 'slightly different' childhood. As she outlines momentous events in Bobby's life from the day he decided he was a dog (continuing life as a canine for a year afterwards) to the time he catapulted an innocent shopper into a mountain of strawberries Georgina repeatedly challenges the perception of autism as an affliction maintaining that neurotypical people often make far less sense. Through her light-hearted & hilarious storytelling she reveals how social codes & psychological games make the neurotypical world a very confusing place to live in more so than ever if you happen to be a young boy with a passion for rocks tape measures & trains. This book is a must for anybody involved in the upbringing of an autistic child whether they are in search of a little comfort companionship light relief
- or all three.
