Title: A Different Kind of Boy: A Father's Memoir about Raising a Gifted Child with Autism
Author: Daniel Mont
Publisher: Jessica Kingsley Publishers
Year: 2002
249 pages
In some ways as much a father's autobiography as a memoir of his son, this is a smart and well-written account of both a boy and a family affected by autism. I've read a lot of personal stories about autism spectrum disorders (both by the parents and by the children with autism) and Mont does a wonderful job of capturing the complexity of the situation and his own emotions. It helps that he as skillful writer as well as an involved father.
