In Iris Johansson’s book, the world of an autistic child is described “from the inside,” from her own experience. However, the uniqueness of Iris’s story does not end there. It is also the story of an extraordinary parenting experience: Iris's father, a Swedish peasant, understood his daughter's problems without any professional help. Thanks to his love, attention and responsiveness, Iris, who was a child with “profound communication disorders,” managed to overcome them. She became a psychologist, consulting teachers and parents. The book is addressed to a wide range of readers. It will be of particular interest to parents and specialists working with children with emotional-volitional disorders.
