Finding Ben

Ben was an extraordinarily gifted child. He spoke in full sentences before the age of one and was reading completely by age two. But Ben also had a crippling social aloofness and fear of change. He suffered from Asperger's Syndrome, a neurological condition considered a high-functioning form of autism. His mother's journey as a parent to Ben has gone from love, to bitterness, to learning to love her child and herself once again.
