Summary: He is a real boy
Comment: This was the first attempt at reading a book about Autism and I was totally unsure as to what to expect. I was surprised at easy it was to read, it was touching, truthful, poignant and funny in a way that could only be written by two loving parents, Well done Christopher & Nicola, how special you must be to have been chosen by God to be your son's parents.

Summary: Real Life Autism
Comment: A very moving and interesting account of living with autism. I liked the way the vulnerability and the fragility of David's life was shown with such love and poignancy. Often (unintentionally) autistic children are protrayed as frightening destructive creatures because they don't understand the rules of life. This book showed us, as far as is possible, how the world looks from the point of view of the child.

Summary: Brilliant!
Comment: I read this book in one day (okay I was on a train to London and back!) It is one of the funniest, most moving and emotional books I have ever read. It is not inviting you to feel sorry for either the boy in the book or the parents but a portrayal of how life is for them as a family, including the older son. It was funny enough to make me laugh out loud, illiciting some strange looks from the other passengers in the compartment, and also made me swallow once or twice at particularly emotive descriptions. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
