At twenty-one, Suzie has withdrawn from a world she finds alien and confusing. Ability is not the problem, nor is interest - many things fascinate her. But, she has Asperger's Syndrome and high anxiety. To her, the world is a harsh, scary place where she does not fit. She spends much of her day sleeping and most of her nights on the computer. Her mother, Amanda, wishes Suzie would get a job, go to school or at least help out around the house. Suzie feels that her time is amply filled with the compelling world lurking within her computer. Amanda has two full time jobs - one involves working at the office every day, the second involves looking after Suzie. Amanda wants more for Suze, but does not know how to help her move forward. When she tries putting pressure on her, Suzie suffers from paralyzing anxiety, resulting in morose withdrawal or worse, lengthy tantrums. Suzie is most content when alone in the basement with her computer. Staring at her monitor, the rest of the world falls away and she feels at home. Amanda is torn. She met this gentleman, Jack. It would be nice to spend time with someone other than her brother and daughter but Suzie wouldn't like it and she needs her mother desperately. Amanda's brother asks uncomfortable questions like what will become of Suzie if something happens to Amanda. Jack gently persists and Amanda glimpses what her life could be like. Suzie resents the time her mom spends with Jack and makes her mother pay for the hours not devoted to her daughter. Then, they have a home invasion. When an intruder breaks into the house, Amanda has only Suzie to rely on.

Another book in the School Daze series about autism and a continuation of how ASD touches the lives of some already familiar characters as they continue to intertwine at home, school, at the work place, and in the greater community. - Christine B.I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I was sad to complete the series. Having more books to read about Autism intrigued and excited me. As the other books, I am out of words to praise the author on her wonderful sense of writing that appeals to every individual. The most interesting part about these books is that you can feel the hope there is for such kids. Not only are they highly unique and intelligent, they are also able to survive and reach great heights. - Neelam

"A gem of a book" " A true delight - Highly, highly recommended Just couldn't put it down" "Highly informative and extremely helpful - Couldn't take my eyes off it" I loved this book from beginning to end - Just plain awesome I could feel the author's passion - What a great way to learn about autism "Entertains, entrances & educates: 3 for the Price of One!" "This wonderful book is about a Dad, Ben, meeting his autistic son Kyle for the very first time, when Mom dumps him suddenly on his doorstep, saying she can no longer take care of him. Through the eyes of Ben, we get a glimpse of both the challenges and joys of being a parent of a child who sees the world in different ways." "Unlike some stories that speak of autistic children, this one brings a wealth of hope and information! As we look over Ben's shoulder, we see a glimpse of the learning tools currently being used in the classroom today, and we get glimpses of things that could be helpful in the day to day life of an autistic child." "I appreciated this story on several levels. First I enjoyed the story of Ben discovering what it means to be a parent, especially a single parent. Second, I enjoyed watching Kyle find his own means of success in this new and upside down world. " "I enjoyed the glimpse into classroom life and options available today. Finally I enjoyed the quiet romance between Mel and Ben." About the Author Dr. Sharon A. Mitchell has worked in schools as a teacher, counselor and consultant for thirty years.
