I just finished the book What Color is Monday? How Autism Changed One Family for the Better by Carrie Cariello. Working in the Special Education room in our school has made me very interested in learning more about Special Needs students and especially Autism. Combine that with binge watching Parenthood on Netflix and I am an emotional wreck.
I am EXTREMELY fascinated with the minds of the autistic. I love how they all learn differently, have different struggles, and have unique talents. As Carrie describes in this book, each autistic person is like a snowflake, all similar but essentially unique. This is so spot on.
Reading this book, I could see some similarities to the 2 boys in our classroom, as well as with Max on parenthood. There are deep mysteries behind the minds of people with autism and I think Carrie did a great job of sharing her joys and struggles of raising her son and incorporating him into the family.
I've already recommended this book to everyone at work. If you are at all interested in learning more about Jack Cariello, be sure to read What Color is Monday?
