Until the summer of 2007 the word Asperger's was not a part of
Shonda Schilling's vocabulary. But by then her household was in
total chaos. Her young son Grant's acting out, irrational behavior,
and apparent inability to relate to the people around him had grown
to epic proportions. The fact that Shonda's husband, All-Star
pitching great Curt Schilling, was constantly on the road with the
Boston Red Sox only complicated matters. Then a neurologist
diagnosed Grant with Asperger's syndrome--a form of
high-functioning autism found in children who, at first glance,
appear disruptive and difficult--and their entire lives
changed.
In The Best Kind of Different, Shonda details every step of her
family's journey with Asperger's, celebrating Grant's successes and
learning from his setbacks. A tribute to Grant's strength and a
candid glimpse into a family coming to terms with its differences,
it is an intimate portrait of two parents struggling to understand
the complex beauty of their son.
