'When I grow up I want to be a screwdriver!' A small boy spins down the sidewalk as his mother follows him with her eyes and heart. Nicky has autism. Winner of the ASA Outstanding Literary Work of the Year Award, Just This Side of Normal is a powerful story of a parent's search for understanding in a world that sometimes makes no sense. This book was one of the first autobiographies written by a parent of a child with autism and it continues to inspire both parents and professionals in the autism community.
Elizabeth King Gerlach’s book tells it like it is. Her story has it all—happy, sad, serious, funny—and all at the same time. It’s must reading for parents and important reading for professionals."—Stephen Edelson, PhD, Director of The Center for the Study of Autism
"I read, loved it, and wept all the way. Here you have a heart-wrenching account of autism and how a parent can lead her child through that dark tunnel and into a much sunnier world. It may still be spotted with clouds and thunderstorms, but it shows what can be done."—Marguerite Kelly, Author of The Mother’s Almanac and syndicated columnist
