Life At The Edge And Beyond

I have just finished reading a book called Life At The Edge and Beyond by Jan Greenman.
Unusual for me as I don't generally like reading books and if I start I normally end up not finishing it.
I wondered if anyone else has read this. It is an autobiography (I think that's the name) about a Mother brining up her son who has an Autism Spectrum Condition and ADHD.
It is a really good read and gives an insight behind the closed door of home and also the difficulties experienced with gaining specialist education and help. The son was eventually expelled from mainstream school. Parts of the book brought a tear to my eye.

Have you read her son's book Geeks, Freaks and Aspergers? I thought that was very interesting.There are times when parenthood seems nothing but feeding the mouth that bites you Peter De VriesDebt free by 40 (27/11/2016)0

No I havn't
Having just googled the book you mention the author of Geeks, Freaks and Aspergers is not the same Son in Life At The Edge and Beyond - the book I have just read.0
