Weird, Wild and Wonderful A Naturally Autistic Tale
Stuart Nicklen
29 January 2009
£17.99 Hardback
A practical and inspirational book for parents of children with severe autism.
Laurence is a 'child out of time'.
Born with severe autism, he is very limited in his responses to the outside world, yet needs to somehow learn how to survive in it.
His devoted father, Stuart Nicklen, amid a failing marriage, makes the effort to break through into Laurence's primitive world, and this leads the pair, along with Laurence's little sister Bianca, to Florida, where he swims with the dolphins and experiences a miraculous developmental awakening.
Full of practical advice, these inspirational pages are a testament to a father's undying love and will also be an inspirational lifeline for many parents who find themselves in a similar situation.
For the last five years Stuart Nicklen has assisted on the National Autistic Society's Parent 2 Parent helpline and currently works with profoundly autistic children in a special school.
He lives in Essex.
