Product Description
"Barbara LaSalle's new book . . . beautifully chronicles her own journey to understand her son with the encyclopedic mind and distressingly separate world." --Washington Post Born with a superanalytical mind, Ben could store information like a minicomputer. Yet beneath his gift for facts lay a great fear of change and social aloofness. Ben had Asperger's Syndrome --a neurobiological disease similar to autism. Honest and beautifully written, Finding Ben is both a look at a mercurial disease and a powerful story of one mother's journey from frustration and resentment to love and acceptance.

 Life Transforming Book September 9, 2008
April Lee (Colorado, USA)
I came across this book at the time when I was struggling with my boy who was exhibiting severe symptoms of Autism. I spent all my time and energy trying to 'fix' or 'rescue' what I felt was a 'broken' child and we both end up deeply frustrated and totally miserable.
Then I came across this book by accident at a cookbook section of the library. This is truly god's miracle cos my boy has the SAME NAME. After reading this book I cried and cried and cried for days and then came the great awakening which totally transformed my life and my rel'p with my child.
In this book you will not find secret ways or recipes to healing your child. Only one simple, powerful and life changing way - ACCEPTANCE. This book taught me how to embrace my child's uniqueness and focus on his strengths instead of his weaknesses.
Today, with my acceptance and love, my Ben (age 5) who has SEVERE autism symptoms is doing so well in school and everyone we know tell us he's the happiest, smartest and sweetest little child they've ever met. I'm forever grateful to god and to the writer for this book.
This is a book that everyone especially parents with special children should read. I wish this book would transform your life like the way it did for me and my family.
Amazing story July 26, 2006

Reads like a novel. Very honest. I would recommend this book to everyone I know.
I bought this book because my daughter suspected her child of having Asperger's syndrome. I knew nothing of the disease. This book not only helped me understand it, but it also gave me much insight into my own grandson's world.
I liked the way it was written. Simple and honest. Much better than reading a lengthy, technical book on the disease.
Read it, you'll gasp, laugh and cry.
