In our time, it’s good to be different, to be different from everyone else, to stand out from the crowd. What does it really mean to be different? And what does it mean to raise a child who is “different,” who is different from his peers and will never be like them? Maria Dubova writes about how to raise a special child—a child diagnosed with autism. How not to go crazy when your son doesn’t understand you? When he doesn’t sit still for a second and almost doesn’t talk, but suddenly it suddenly turns out that he himself has learned to understand several languages. How does it feel for parents to know that their son does not feel pain and has no sense of fear? But despite everything, this is the same vulnerable, talented and beloved child as any other. And he needs to be loved, understood and cared for. This is a book about family values, about pain, about disappointment and acceptance, and also about people, ordinary people next to us.
