George and Sam: Two Boys, One Family, and Autism by Charlotte Moore

Nonfiction
Charlotte Moore, a British journalist, has three sons. Two of them are autistic. The book examines the process of diagnosis, the repercussions of the boys' behavior on their family life, and the author's growing understanding of her role as reporter from the front lines. The different ways that autism impacts her two sons, and Moore's willingness to accept her sons on their own terms, lends deeper insight into this confounding disorder.
