About this listen

I don't know whether this is the story of Jeff the autistic individual, Jeff the man of God, or Jeff the medical enigma; but I do know it is the story of Jeff, my son.

Jeff was so autistic, and yet not autistic at all if you used the textbook definition. He had huge sensory integration issues and appeared to be living inside of himself, but he cared so much for God and other people that their needs always came above his own. He had severe speech issues, only spoke one-word answers, but wrote beautiful papers and prayers when given the Canon communicator.

He desired to go to regular school and be normal only to decide normal wasn't so great after all, and he blossomed much more when he got in an adult program at the Intermediate School District. He talked about screaming inside but no one could hear him while on the outside he wrote his name and address every day and brought home the result of his effort every evening only to go back to it another day. As he got older and understood himself more, he developed a split personality. R----d was the autistic guy who couldn’t relate to the world while Jeff was the man of God who kindly tried to put everyone else at ease.

Wow! An amazing audiobook. This book serves as a helpful reminder that our happiness is greatly influenced by the way we decide to respond to the circumstances we find ourselves in. This story is both sad and incredibly lovely. We frequently fail to consider the difficulties that others are facing. Moreover, the narrator’s voice made it more interesting. Highly recommended

A Lovely Story

This book is beyond moving as the author tells a personal story that truly opens your eyes to humanity, humility, and the invaluable worth of every individual on this earth. The author also helps to shed light on the diagnosis of autism and other diagnoses that tend to separate individuals from societal "norm" and the lessons we miss in doing so.

Wow- Just Wow!

My heart goes out to parents who wrestle with Autism, and this book has given me a much deeper insight into that world. More people should try to understand what their struggles are, as we're all part of this world...together. This endearing account of a parent's love for her child is amazingly tender as she offers not just her personal struggles but provides practical insight and hope through the victories they achieved and the wisdom they gained. This book made me want to know "Jeff," and it equipped me better for interaction with my friends who have autistic children.
