email from a grandmother in texas

"My son read your book, which left him so much more enlightened about his son Greg.  His comment to me was "Greg kept jumping out at me from almost every page and now I know I've been doing everything wrong."  So thanks for writing this wonderful book, it gives so much understanding to parents of kids like Greg."

Carol Bushard's review

5 of 5 stars

bookshelves: special-education

"This book is written by C.G. Meloy, who was diagnosed with high functioning autism as a middle-aged adult. I loved the book and found it very interesting and easy to read. It helped me understand why people who have high functioning autism may be hard to engage in a relationship. C.G. Meloy writes with sincerity and humor."

someone translated "the mom factor" into dutch and quoted it on their website

http://tistje.com/2013/04/10/de-factor-moeder/

Soms kan een moeder van iemand met autisme heel erg geïntegreerd zijn in mij. Ze herkent bepaald gedrag van mij in haar kind. Ze vraagt zich af of haar kind als volwassene zo zal zijn als ik. Ze wil weten of haar zoon met de auto zal kunnen rijden en zal werken … zoals ik. Ze wil weten of haar zoon carrière zal maken, zal trouwen en vader zal zijn … anders dan ik. In zekere zin hoopt ze dat haar kind het even goed doet als ik. Hoewel ze anderzijds hoopt dat haar kind niet zo meelijwekkend als ik. Dat versta ik. Ik stel me voor dat haar kind het erg goed kan doen, door de voordelen van een vroege diagnose, een individueel leerplan en diverse therapieën. Maar er is een andere uitermate belangrijke factor in het welzijn en succes van het kind – Moeder houdt hem in het oog.
– Cliff Meloy in ‘Life & Spectrum’ (CIPP, 2013)

they also translated "war of the worlds".  since both of those sections are in the free sample at amazon, they might not even have bought the book.  ha!  with my hyper sense of frugality, i have to respect that, heh heh.

In twee werelden moet ik bestaan. De eerste is mijn ‘kinderlijke’, solitaire, autismewereld. De andere is mijn ‘volwassen’, sociale, neuro-typische wereld. Van nature ben ik in de eerste, maar de tweede heb ik nodig om te functioneren. Op die koord dansen, tussen die twee werelden, is niet eenvoudig. Deze werelden ontmoeten elkaar niet, ze botsen voortdurend, binnen en buiten mij. Autisme mag dan niet levensbedreigend zijn, het is wel bedreigend voor de kwaliteit van mijn bestaan.

– Cliff Meloy in ‘Life & Spectrum’ (CIPP, 2013)

comment from a reader

"I am half way through this book now, and it is so enlightening and revealing. I can see my own "Aspie" jumping right off the pages!! It is a terrific resource, and I plan to share a copy with Luke's teacher as well as his school counselor!"

email from canada

"I work for an autism centre called Dragonfly in New Brunswick, Canada, right on the border of Calais, Maine.  We operate a very specialized autism summer camp based on music, art & movement therapies as well as a year round resource centre for families in our area. One of our services is a lending library of autism related books and material and I will be so happy to add your book to our selection.  Thank you so much for your first hand insight into the mystery of autism. It will make a big difference in helping other people understand and cope with this invisible challenge."
