'This is a gripping book about a family's survival to get their daughter disgnosed. When they finally receive a disgnosis they are told it is autism. It takes you through the journey from when Becky was a baby until she was in her forties. It covers all the challenges the family encounter just to survive and some of the rewards they receive for being persistent. Readers will be won over by the herat-warming story of this family, who have usually encountered some of the same roadblocks as other families coping with autism.'

- Good Autism Practice

'The journey from early childhood through puberty and into adulthood is movingly documanted in a frank and critical way... This book shows how autism can have an impact on siblings and their efforts to reconcile their own developmental needs with the challengeing demands of a sister with autism.'
