Beschreibung

Following the success of the blog of the same name, John talks not just about the difficulties of having a child who is considered 'different' but also the joy of living with someone who looks at the world in a unique way. This isn't a story about autism. It's a story about a young boy who happens to have autism, and there is a big difference. It does relate the struggles of getting a diagnosis for The Boy and the dismay of having his child excluded from schools. However, John very rarely dwells on the downside of his son's condition, preferring instead to look at the happiness and insight his son has given him.
Funny and heart-warming, this is a book about living with the often frustrating and bewildering but always fascinating world of the autistic mind. It's about finding the positive in everything, from the joy and wonder of the Special School Disco to the unadulterated thrill of getting the front seat on the Docklands Light Railway. Ultimately, it's a celebration of what it really means to be different.

Über den Autor

John Williams is a stand-up comedian. Unusually, his show is based on his life as a single parent to his son, who just happens to have autism. His tours take him all over the UK, including the Edinburgh Festival where he had a sell-out run last year. His blog gets nearly 4,000 hits a day and has led to him being asked to be the Keynote Speaker at the National Autistic Society annual conference and having an article published about him on both the BBC website and in the Guardian newspaper.
