Summary: Wishes that come true,Just This Side of Normal
Comment: A wonderful story, a rich tapestry of love and hope and told with the masterful hand of an expert storyteller. Elizabeth King Gerlach stirs the heart with this magnificent true-life story of glimpses into life with Autism. Just This Side of Normal shares the heartache and celebrates the triumphs of a mother and family facing the challenges of raising an Autistic child. As a parent of two school age children, neither of whom is Autistic I found myself turning from one page to the next, inspired by hope which is the message that comes through in so clear a manner and at the same time savoring the artistic sensitivity and style of the authors hand. Just This Side of Normal is a must read for everyone; an educator, a parent, a parent of those children affected by Autism,young adults. Poetic in its execution, I find myself returing to the pages of Just This Side of Normal over and over again and I look forward to reading more from this highly talented author.

Summary: Just This Side of Normal
Comment: I am a mother of a 3 1/2 year boy with autism. I read books mostly on people who write about their lives with autism. I found this book interesting. Alot of the things her child does, so does my son. The only thing that I did not like about this book is that the author really didn't go into detail about each story. She spent more time on stories that had nothing to do with her son. I found that she really did not want you to know much about her life. I feel that when a person decides to write a story about their life, they should spend alittle more time talking about how this affected their lives. Like when her husband left, I was left thinking, "Did he leave because of the pressure of having an autistic son, or for other reason?". I would check this book out at the local library before I spent money on it.

Summary: A Beautiful and Inspiring Book
Comment: An amazing story told by an amazing author. This is an inspiring story of love, pain, devotion, disappointment, hope, humor and courage. Elizabeth King Gerlach opens her life to the reader, allowing us a parent's perspective of what it means to raise an autistic child and deal with a world that doesn't understand. Simultaneously, Ms. Gerlach allows us a glimpse into her heart, a place of obviously deep caring, compassion and beauty. Her writing is refreshingly open, honest and sincere. Just This Side of Normal is complex while, at the same time, maintains a simple clarity that captures the essence of the love a parent has for their child.
While certainly a valuable work for parents of autistic children, this book is more an inspiration, a tribute to the human spirit, to be shared by all. I want to thank Ms. Gerlach for writing this beautiful book and for opening her heart to all who are fortunate enough to read it. This book moved me deeply, as a father and as a human being. Buy this book, read it over and over, laugh & cry, and then share it with everyone you know.
