Based on detailed research and a lifetime of personal experience,
James Wilson recounts his personal journey as the primary companion
of his now twenty-six-year-old autistic son, Sam. This realistic,
irreverent account of an autistic young man and his misadventures
while transitioning to adulthood provides enlightening truths as
well as sardonic humor. Formally seen as a neurological disorder,
autism is increasingly being looked upon as simply a form of
neurodiversity. Rejecting mainstream attitudes, Wilson explores
this modern view of autism through his own experience as well as
quotes from autistic people and bloggers, some of whom are the most
vocal proponents of this viewpoint. A detailed bibliography
accompanies this engaging memoir of a father and son's experience
negotiating the slippery slopes of normality.
