This is a lovely book about people with non traditional lives. It’s a beautiful piece about how technology can really assist some people,
which also gives you some insight into a child with autism. The genetic component is also on display as the parents also do not seem completely neurotypical.
Humorous, fast read submitted by A2AE on July 2, 2021, 1:57pm I landed on this book after reading an article by Judith about her non-traditional living arrangement with her husband and kids, and I so enjoyed her humor that I decided to check out this book. It's a delight. Her memoir about being the mom to twins, one is a son with autism, is an insightful and interesting look into their lives as a family. I read it in a day and keep thinking about questions and scenarios she brought up. It's a great read.
