Wired Different

Raising a child with an intellectual disability takes courage, patience, love, fortitude and energy. In this memoir about her son’s first 30 years, Susan Chaplin takes us through all the emotions involved, from the devastation of facing her son’s challenges, to fighting the special education system, coping with a sometimes-heartless medical world, and wading through the muck of government services. You will laugh, cry and learn – whether you have just discovered your child’s disability, have a 50-something adult with Autism, or have never thought about what it must be like: this memoir is for you.
