Introduction
My kids and I are at the supermarket.
"We need turkey and ham!"
Gus tends to speak in exclamation points. "A half pound! And...what, Mommy?" I'm stage-whispering directions, trying to keep the conversation focused on deli meats. Behind the counter, Otto politely slices and listens, occasionally interjecting questions. We're on track here.
And then...we're not.

The book chronicles one year in the life of the family. (publisher)

Berkner directs me to a blog called Autism Daddy, where the dad describes his nonverbal twelve-year-old sleeping with a framed photo of Laurie (singer on Nickelodeon) like it's a teddy bear.
