Book description
Charlotte Moore has three children: the two oldest, George and Sam, are
autistic; the youngest Jake is not. In this extraordinary book, which
combines personal memoir with the most recent known information on this
most fascinating and elusive of conditions, she describes the
circumstances of their birth, behaviour, diagnosis, treatment - and
brilliantly conveys what daily life is like for a family with autism.
It's an invaluable book for anyone with an interest in childhood and
child development. Charlotte Moore was brought up in Battle, Sussex,
in the Tudor house where she now lives with her three sons. She read
English at Oxford before becoming a teacher for twelve years. She is now
a freelance author, and has written three novels as well as a
long-running column for the Guardian
