This book is the true story of one boy and his family’s life with Luke’s labels. Luke is an amazing character and his mum Jan Greenman has written a book that draws you into their world with humour, love and yet at times, disturbingly brutal honesty. Luke himself writes tips at the end of each chapter of the book, which is both factual and anecdotal, covering all aspects of his behaviour, his education (or the lack of it and their ongoing fight to obtain specialist help), medical issues and much more. This book is integral and is a brilliant insight into the world of autism, still very much a misunderstood and taboo subject.

Nigel Mansell British F1 Racing Driver and World Champion has endorsed this book on the front and back covers. He says ‘This is a book that demonstrates how brave parents are and is a truly riveting read’.

Quentin Letts, Daily Mail says ‘Congratulations. You have pulled off the trick of writing about a difficult subject in a way that is affecting and funny, informative and vivid. You frequently had me near tears…’

James Gray MP has written the foreword – ‘Luke is an extraordinary boy by any standards……..I hope this frank and fascinating account will help society at large achieve a wider understanding of autism….’. ‘This is an astonishing and moving book in every way, chronicling their journey though the wonderful world of Luke…’

The National Autistic Society have endorsed the book as follows: ‘Having Aspergers Syndrome is not easy and adding ADHD to the psychological make-up makes life even harder….. Jan’s account of living with ADHD and Aspergers Sundrome is a great addition to books on the subject’.
