Official Review: Half My Life: The Testimony of a Father ...

[bookowlie]

Great review for what sounds like a very interesting book. I think this type of book is cathartic for the author, as he shares his challenges and joys of raising a child with special needs. What a loving tribute to his son and a bit of a reference manual for those going through similar challenges.

autism is now common in our society.they are different form us . they can't do work like normal people. they have to face many difficulties in the society. we can not accept them easily. we treat then badly.
author write a story of a father who have a special need son and struggled hard for his son.. facing many difficulties this father didn't loss his hope and faith upon God..
this story will touch everyone's heart and will make us to realize struggle of special need child's parent..

Plenty of people with autism do work, even in professional fields. Remember that autism is a spectrum, from very mild to very severe, and everything in between. My son has autism. He has a bachelors degree. With lots of therapies and help along the way, he will one day live on his own.

i didn't criticise anybody. sorry if i told anything which hurt you.. i didn't mean that. happy to know about your son. God bless you and your son..[/quote]

Thank you @"CatInTheHat" for stating my exact thoughts and congratulations for your son's success; clearly you and his support system have put in effort, support, and love to get him where he is today. You are right, autism is a spectrum and people who are on it can do so much in life. We have to be careful to judge on what they can't do and believe in what they can. Thank you again, CatInTheHat, for sharing.
