Publisher's Synopsis
If your child or the child of a close friend or relative has just received a diagnosis of autism, you are probably feeling baffled and overwhelmed. It is never easy to learn that someone you love has serious health or developmental condition. Learning all you can about the disorder -- and where to get help -- will ease your fear and confusion. It can also provide the tools you need to find the support that children with autism and you really need.
This is a story about a devoted father who searches for a way to his autistic son's heart: an unforgettable journey into the private life of a family dealing with autism.
After the end of his first marriage, he is remarried to Nataly, the love of his life. When their beautiful baby boy, Uriel, is diagnosed with autism, their lives are changed forever. At first, the family is devastated, anxious and confused, but the complex situations they are faced with will teach them insightful lessons and change them forever, as a couple, as parents, and as human beings.
As Danny narrates in his honest and passionate tone, that will melt your heart and touch your soul, the family suddenly finds itself struggling with inconsiderate institutes and indifferent bureaucracy; dealing with social ignorance, discrimination, and prejudice; coping with rejection, failure, frustration, anger, self-doubt, and despair; collecting small victories, weaving dreams and making the impossible come true. Exposing intimate and personal situations, reveals a powerful and exciting world that is usually left out of sight, and teaches voluble lessons that are relevant to all.
Open your minds to an exceptional life story: prepare to laugh, cry, love, and believe.
This story exposes the topic of autism and addresses the general issue of exceptional people and people with differences. It promotes openness to unique children and adults in our society and opens one's mind to see them as our equals, and not as a burden. It is an unforgettable journey for any reader, at any age.
