This sentence within the first few pages really drew me in: "You
will call him Cooper, yet the world will call him disabled". As a social worker who works with non-verbal, autistic children, I really appreciated being able to hear Cooper's mother's perspective on his diagnosis and living his life with autism. I also really appreciated that the author spoke of the grief she had, rather than pretending everything was ok. Sometimes it's ok to not be ok, and we must embrace that.
