With a series of 'music in care' books aimed at supporting adults
through a range of life's situations using music, John Osborne has
collaborated with a new young author to bring fresh perspective on
how the power of music can affect a young person's life. Coping
with moving to a new school can be a difficult and challenging time
for any young person but it can be even more problematic if you are
on the autistic spectrum. This book tells the story of Luke Fiddes
a remarkable young man and talented musician. It explains how Luke
became aware of his different and special status and how he learnt
to manage this. It also contains a self help manual for all young
people which is designed to help deal with the struggles of
adolescence using personalised music. This heartwarming, funny and
frank account of Luke's journey gives a remarkable insight into
some of the challenges but also the surprising benefits of living
with Asperger syndrome. "I love my autism because I love music."
