We feel like parents in a fairytale turned to stone by a curse and condemned to stand like statues with our hearts thudding in our chests as our son plays wild games, all alone in the palace. He sees us he knows us, he expects us always to be in our right places - but he has no idea that we are human too. David is eleven years old. He is happy, healthy and affectionate. He loves school, climbing trees and Disney songs. But he's also profoundly autistic. Imagine being, like David, unable to speak more than a few words and unable to express your most basic needs. He is oblivious to danger and blind to other people's emotions, including the pleas of his parents. He is unaware of the chaos that he creates and is completely unmoved by the heartbreak that he causes. This extraordinarily moving account describes the heartbreak, and the unexpected joy of autism. With raw honesty, Christopher and Nicola Stevens lay bare their experiences, which are by turns harrowing, hilarious, and inspirational. Autism is often depicted as a lonely affliction but, as David's story unfolds, his parents reveal how the condition has given them an unbreakable togetherness; an insight into prejudice, as well as kindness; an understanding of life without words or language; and an intense appreciation of their children. Caring for David is an all-consuming experience...and through it they have learned, most of all, the meaning of unconditional love.©2008 Christopher Stevens (P)2018 W. F.

I am blown away by the strength and love and bravery Steven and Nicola have lived within. Being diagnosed around age 45 high functioning autistic but still capable of a melt down or quirks, i know my mom loved me but i also know if i had been more symptomatic, no, i dont think my family could have done what this amazing couple did and does. you are heroes in my eyes and i pray for the light to grow brighter as the years go by And i think dad might be adhd/as at some level!!!! what a brilliant sense of humor. .i cried and laughed in the same paragraph!! God bless this family

An amazing life lesson...

This book completely opened my eyes to what it is to have an autistic child. I had no idea. The authors writing is so honest, thoughtful and without a hint of self pity. So different from my usual listen. It has taught me much and I highly recommend this to everyone.

Fantastic honest writing
