Also contains Acknowledgments, Cast of Characters, and Cited References. How Charlie saved my life, rescued my soul, and brought me out of my darkness. Charlie has introduced me to a wondrous new world of exceptional boys and girls and men and women, each of whom has special needs. A dear friend of ours says, simply, each of them is "special." And he has introduced me to those who care about these exceptional people share their their frustrations and victories, give them love and are made the better because of this love between them. Had it not been for Charlie, I would never have known any of them. In yet another way, he has given me life by my seeing what he has meant to others. This is a compelling story of a grandfather's relationship with his grandson with autism, which lifts our spirits while telling us important things about us and about life. This heartwarming story told with honesty and sensitivity presents a different way of thinking about a family's adjustment to a disability, and in doing so gives us new and important information about how members of a family might be affected by a family member who is different. At age two and a half, Charlie stopped speaking. He wouldn't answer his family. He wouldn't look at them. They were frightened, but they were determined to fight for him. The Boy Who Saved My Life is a story of love and redemption that will inspire the reader to reach out and experience an incredible, life-changing relationship with a special person. For the author, that special person is his grandson Charlie, who is autistic. Earle Martin knew he must open up to Charlie in a way he had never done with anyone. He had to come out of his dark world to meet Charlie in his world. If he was going to help Charlie, they had to walk hand in hand into the light of a better world. Martin hopes to introduce the reader to special-needs individuals in a way that will encourage involvement with them and affect positive life changes through the inspiration of the special needs community. Earle Martin was an Episcopal priest for twelve years before leaving the ministry and receiving a Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Houston. Following a brief time at the Family Service Association, he was for many years in private practice in psychotherapy, and is now retired. Charlie Stubs and Earle Martin live on the same street, just two blocks from each other, and are the best of friends. Charlie, who lives with his family and his cat Annie II, is now twenty-four. He has been coming to Earl's home at least twice a week for his entire life. The Boy Who Saved My Life is the story of his grandson, Charlie, who is autistic. Charlie works in the day program at Broached Community.
