Susan Senator offers us a unique opportunity to step into her life and understand what a family experiences when one of the members has autism. This book is a very open and candid view into the struggles, the disappointments and sometimes scary times, but much more than that it allows us to celebrate the successes and milestones her family reaches. While the author makes no claims as to why autism occurs or how to cure it she does offer practical and imaginative tips and suggestions that helped her family cope with the disorder and even at times allows her son Nat to break through his autistic barrier and shine.
