George & Sam Two Boys, One Family, and Autism

"Charlotte Moore has three children, George, Sam, and Jake. George and Sam are autistic. George and Sam takes the reader from the births of the two boys, along the painstaking path to diagnosis, interventions, schooling and more. Moore's clear-eyed description of her family and her sons allows us to see the boys behind the label of autism. Their often puzzling behavior, unusual food aversions, and the different ways that autism affects them lend deeper insight into this confounding disorder." "George and Sam emerge from her narrative as distinct, wonderful, if at times frustrating, children who also are autistic through and through. Moore does not feel the need to search for cause or cure but simply strives to find the best ways to help her sons. She conveys through her experience what autism is and isn't, which therapies have worked and which ones have not been effective, and she paints a memorable portrait of life with her boys."--BOOK JACKET.Moore, Charlotte is the author of 'George & Sam Two Boys, One Family, and Autism', published 2006 under ISBN 9780312358938 and ISBN 0312358938.
