Having brought up an autistic son for 15 years I am undertaking a book about his life.

It has been a fantastic journey.

Sure I have seen the fear, predjudice and ignorance of people's reaction to autistic people as well as the great affection, joy and understanding.

That my son is brilliant sure helps but OMG out in public ...all the girls who are constantly hugging him!?!?

Well shit, that never happened to me in High School. He has a great wisdom about knowing who he is and that he is different. He has an internal dialoge that began during the first 6 years of silent life when he could speak to himself but not out loud.

There is magic and mystery in him that deserves a book.
Not just for parents of the autistic but for people who first think to discriminate without grounds or even a fraction of the hyper awareness of an autistic person.
