Publisher Description:

Although one child in 68 is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, psychologist Anne Ross is stunned when she learns her son has Asperger's Syndrome. The diagnosis propels her more deeply into her life's work with children on the spectrum. Her compelling and lyrical story of raising--and launching--her son is one of anguish as well as joy, and what she learns along the way will help other families who are living this perplexing, remarkable, and humbling journey of parenthood.
