author:  David Duncan 
description: There was something special about writing in remarks -- almost a kind of magic. For reasons I did not fully understand, discarding paragraphs and arguments for remarks felt like being freed from shackles.

  An excellent account of the writer’s candid experiences with her autistic
  sibling as well as daily struggles her family has to cope with. Free of
  jargon, it is an easy read that provides an insight into the autism world, and
  allows readers to peer into the mind and understand the idiosyncratic
  behaviours of an autistic individual.

  Education Academic Group, NIE
  
  
  Just as with mental illness, there are many misconceptions about autism. This
  book, beautifully penned by the author that draws on the struggles of a family
  with an autistic child, brought tears to my eyes. And it leads me to ask:
  “Can’t society learn to accept that children with autism are also God’s
  children who need love, understanding and support to enable them to lead
  perfectly normal lives?”
