A Real Boy is
the story of how Christina and her husband stopped their son’s
unexpected descent into autism and illness and won him a second chance
for a full life. A Real Boy tells
the story behind the autism epidemic…and how kids can get better.
"Regardless of whether readers have an autistic
child or a child "on the spectrum" with a diagnosis ranging
from attention deficit disorder to Asperger's syndrome, they should
enjoy Adams' fast-paced tale. We learn the language of autism, explore
its manifestations and gain an understanding of the world inhabited
by an increasing number of families."
“Christina Adams has written a book that provides a much-needed
update on the world of autism. Yet it has a broad appeal that will
touch all parents, and in particular those who have struggled to
help a different child find his place in the world. I was riveted
to this story, and often moved to tears. I predict her book will
become a classic, and that we will have many books from this writer.”
