An Autistic Sun: Christopher's University Challenge by Mike Thorpe
A unique record of a remarkable autistic boy, right up to his last year as an undergraduate studying for a BSc (Hons) degree. Chris is an irrepressible, engaging, intriguing autist. Much has been learnt with him and about him. A story told with honesty, concern, candour, humour, humanity, insight, good bits, sanguine bits but always with lots of love. Circumstances, challenges, observations, work, play, learning and development regarding a rather special lad who just happens to be autistic. Not a judgemental or lecturing book full of jargon. It is at heart a thoughtful, constructive, enlightening, objective, yet optimistic and positive book.
