When Uriel Sang: Parenting an exceptional child

by Danny Or Fuchs

After the end of his first marriage, Danny is remarried to Nataly, the love of his life. When their beautiful baby boy, Uriel, is diagnosed with autism, their lives are changed forever. At first, the family is devastated, anxious and confused, but the complex situations they are faced with will teach them insightful lessons and change them forever, as a couple, as parents and as human beings. As Danny narrates in his honest and passionate tone, that will melt your heart and touch your soul, the family suddenly finds itself struggling with inconsiderate institutes and indifferent bureaucracy; dealing with social ignorance, discrimination and prejudice; coping with rejection, failure, frustration, anger, self-doubt and despair; collecting small victories, weaving dreams and making the impossible come true. By Exposing the most intimate and personal situations, it reveals a powerful and exciting world that is usually left out of sight, and teaches voluble lessons that are relevant to all. When Uriel Sang exposes the topic of autism and addresses the general issue of exceptional people and people with differences. It promotes openness to unique children and adults in our society and opens one’s mind to see them as our equals, and not as a burden. It is an unforgettable journey for any reader, at any age.

So enlightening

While the book was not written as a professional writer might, I felt like the author was talking to me throughout the book. It was a detailed description of the joys and tribulations of being a parent to an autistic child. So inspiring!

This book provides a small glimpse into the heartaches and joys of raising an autistic child. It also highlights the uphill struggles parents of autistic children have in getting their children the training and education they need to reach their full potential. With an ever-growing number of children being diagnosed as autistic, it's likely that most readers know someone personally whose family is touched by autism, but this book gives more insight into what it's really like for those families. Although the family in this story is Israeli, I suspect the challenges and emotions they've experienced are somewhat universal.

My Review

Great read. A few spelling and grammatical errors but very interesting. I would liked to have learned more ways to get through to an autistic child because a friend of mine has an autistic son.
