| Summary |
"A journey into another world: the autistic world. Autism is a condition of the mind that affects the way you communicate with the world around you. There is no cure for it and for those afflicted, life is a series of challenges and mysteries. Their world is complex and fascinating and made all the more poignant by their desire to live and function in the real world. Four of the most able students at one of Britain's largest special schools for children with autism, the Spa school, show what it is like to struggle with autism. The journey with these four is explosive, revealing, haunting and painful. But they are in a place where they can and do learn strategies to cope with their condition by having it named and explained and are supported by teachers with endless patience. " -- website |
