I could not put this book down. This book is an amazing resource for parents of children with autism. This personal story covers the academic, moral, social, and spiritual development of a gentleman with mild to moderate autism through his mother's perspective. Baczewski is very thorough in listing specific methods and resources that she explored with her son to help him along his journey. Her faith plays a prominent role in her telling of the story and highlights how she was able to understand her son and his struggles.
