À propos de la quatrième de couverture

When we got home after the diagnosis I was numb, trying to take it all in. There we were again, alone as a family, like coming back from hospital after the birth, only this time with a task a thousand times more daunting. This wasn't the anticipation of an adventure. No-one we knew had faced this problem before. We were on our own. There was no instruction booklet. We'd not been taught about this at school. We were unprepared, adrift at sea.


But how could I let Angela down? How could I let my own child down? I had no choice, I would have to cope. No, it was more than that: I would have to fight.

À propos de la deuxième de couverture

Johnny is nineteen. He likes music, art and going to the beach. He is also autistic - he will probably never get a job, never have a girlfriend, never leave home. And over the last eighteen years this is what his father, TV producer and comedy writer Henry Normal and his wife Angela have been trying to come to terms with.

This is a book for anyone whose life has been touched by autism - it's about the hope, the despair, and the messy, honest, sometimes hilarious day-to-day world of autism, as well as a wonderful, warm book about the unconditional, unconventional love between a father, a mother and a son.
