What is it like to be autistic? Could it be as though you are in your own world?

Autism is mainly characterized by the introspection of an individual and the difficulty that they have in demonstrating their feelings towards to society; the way they interact directly with the world that surrounds them, and how each counteracts the other. This incapacity to relate with their surroundings, the fact that it can happen at various levels, is what makes many classify autistics as “being in their own world”.

            Therefore if you decide to read this book you will embark on an "autistic" adventure because you will be closed inside your own world of solitary reading in which you will only "interact" with the characters of this book. It doesn’t matter if there is noise around you while riding public transportation, at school, in your neighborhood or in the world about you while reading the book. You will want to pay attention to the reading and not interact with those close by. But, if someoone interrupts you with something that interests you more than this book, won’t you only tune out only a little of the story?

            One day, I woke up as an autistic child’s mother and, fearless to face the unknown, I believed I would bring my son back. Through a lot of struggle and learning I believed I would rescue my son from the deepest depths of darkness. I believed that even though he was in "his own world," as I had been told, he was born into the world in which I live so I would like him to be a part of it. Selfishness? I think only love...

Maybe you feel that this is a self help book, a romance, a religious text or anything along those lines. Maybe you will identify with one or more of the characters or, on the contrary, you won’t identify with any of them.

            The fact is this is a story of a boy who was born more than once because his family believed that it was possible.  Some people call it a miracle, a resurrection, coincidence or even craziness.  It doesn't matter what you believe, just be ready to view a miracle.  To be honest I wouldn’t believe in it myself if all of this hadn't happened to me , my son, my family and our friends who have taken this journey with us. It's a story within a story that has changed so many lives. A story that sounds unreal, but one that can change your life and all those around you, if you just allow it to do so.
