| Publisher Description: "When I grow up I want to be a screwdriver!" A small boy spins down the sidewalk. His mother follows him with her eyes and heart. Nicky has autism, a condition that affects not only him, but also those around him. Just This Side of Normal was one of the first autism-related autobiographies ever published, and it has become a classic among autism parents and professionals. It is a powerful story of a parent's search for understanding in a world that sometimes makes no sense. |
