Synopsis
This is a view from inside the mind of autism: a dual autobiography written in point-counterpoint style by Judy Barron and her son, Sean Barron. Together, they chronicle Sean's young life and the effects of autism on him and his family. As a youngster, Sean was confrontational, uncontrollable, "isolated and desperately unhappy." Baffled about how to interact with others, he felt "like an alien from outer space." Then, at seventeen, Sean experienced a breakthrough that began his release from autism. Today he is a public speaker, college student, and reporter -- and close to his family.
Annotation
This incredibly insightful book--now translated into seven languages--examines autism from the unique perspective of both a mother and her son with autism. Both Judy and Sean Barron relate their understandings of the events that each have experienced, resulting in a rare insight into the mind of a child with autism.

08/23/2006: I am a single parent of a 4 year old autistic boy. I bought this book with the hope of better understanding how he acts the way he does and how he thinks. I must say that this book was so informing and entertaining at the same time. I laughed, I cried, and I found myself in this book. Many of the common things autistic children do were explained from the 'inside out' approach through Sean. God bless them for writing this book. I couldn't put it down...not even at work or at home. I finished this book in 3 days and I've never read anything that fast before. I highly recommend this book to everyone who wants an inside look at what it means to be autistic or who wants to be better informed. Truly a REMARKABLE BOOK!
