Summary:

A father shares his autistic son's story and offers inspiration and advice for families facing similar challenges. Like any other teen boy, Austin loves pizza, movies, dancing, and girls. But unlike most other eighteen-year olds, he has a rare brittle-bone disease, was locked in a mental ward as a child, and is autistic. Yet Austin doesn't let any of that stop him.
