Sommario/riassunto

Thousands of children are diagnosed with autism each year, with a rate of occurrence of 1 in 150 births, compared to 5 per 10,000 just two decades ago. This title describes how the author's parenthood quickly descended into chaos as her son, Sam, became uncommunicative and unmanageable.
