Summary
What would you do if you knew a child who was being abused? If that child was a member of your family? Would you call the authorities and have the child taken away, or would you turn a blind eye?
These are the kind of questions that Lost in Thought provokes. The author, who lived through the atrocities mentioned in this audiobook, paints a vivid if disturbing image of child abuse and how it affects the psyche as one grows older. What begins as abuse leads quickly to suicidal thoughts and loss of control.
Lost in Thought is the unbelievable true story of a child who was in this predicament. His mother, who was hooked on prescription pills, sexually abused him for years and convinced him that nothing was out of the ordinary. Family members knew of the horrifying situation yet did nothing to stop it. He distanced himself from his family as he grew older only to become more of an outcast.
This is the powerful true story of a man who was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome on the autism spectrum in his mid-20s, overcame adversity, and took back control of his life before it was too late.

A Heart-Breaking Tale
A man in his 20's taking back his life. I really felt for the story being told, and it is always so interesting to me to hear stories of people that are able to overcome the challenges and the abuse they face. It isn't an easy thing, so I always feel so proud of these stories being shown. It raises a lot of questions about how you would react to a similar situation if you were aware of it.

A worthwhile listen
Having a son who's a social worker meant that maybe I wasn't quite as horrified as others listeners might be at this story. I wanted to listen to make sure when my son feels the need to talk about his work, I am able to listen intelligently. This book is a testament to the strength of character of the author. Time and again I was taken aback by his resilience, his bravery and courage. The fact that he went all the way through the school system, was the subject of numerous court battles and no one picked up on what was happening was, for me, the most appalling aspect of this story. The fact that family members knew and did nothing is abhorrent and the opening guidance from the author was spot on. I can only commend Karson Lee for his strength in writing this book and Todd Waites for what can't have been an easy narration. If we are to improve our social care we need survivors to show us where we went wrong. Thank you Mr Lee, and I wish you a future lifetime full of health, wealth and all the happiness you truly deserve.
