In this powerful and moving memoir, a mother shares her son's journey with autism and the transformative power of love and acceptance.

When her son, Ethan, was diagnosed with autism at the age of two, the author's world was turned upside down. She struggled to understand what autism meant for her son and her family, and she felt isolated and alone.

But over time, she began to learn more about autism and to see her son for the amazing person he was. She realized that Ethan had a unique way of seeing the world, and that he had a lot to teach her about love, acceptance, and the importance of being yourself.

In Other and Son, the author shares her family's journey with autism with honesty and humor. She writes about the challenges they faced, the joys they experienced, and the lessons they learned along the way.

Other and Son is a must-read for anyone who has been touched by autism. It is a story of love, acceptance, and the transformative power of the human spirit.
