Book Description:
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) are a group of developmental
disabilities which affect behavior, communication and
social interaction. Most children with ASDs appear to develop
relatively normally until the ages of 18 to 36 months.
During this window parents or professionals begin to notice
developmental delays. Mild forms of Autism Spectrum Disorder
may resemble a learning disability while more severe forms may
involve substantial impairment of communication, learning
and social abilities, abnormal responses to sensory stimuli and
sometimes self-injurious behavior. Individuals with Autism
may have one or two skill areas which exceed age-matched peers’
skill levels. These skills frequently appear in the areas
of mathematical computation, music, art or memory. Children with
milder forms of ASD may be diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental
Disorder (PDD) or with Asperger’s Disorder.
I wanted to point out that I read the first 100 pages so fast it shocked me! I looked down and there was page “100”. This story is so well written, and with characters that bring you into the story so deeply, you will have this novel read in no time. What will you find in this novel? A great combination of suspense, angst, romance and relationships that will truly make you think. You will also look at life and people a little differently. I love the respect and care that Tanya has given to the tender subjects found within the pages of this novel. For all of this, I’m giving this book 5 stars!
