[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 62857, member: 1991"] I'm going to have to dig for that audio book, it would be a good way to get difficult child 3 into it. I was recommended the book a few years ago by the paediatric immunologist who was studying difficult child 3's 'mystery illness' which turned out to be stress. She said she's seen it at an airport, grabbed it and couldn't put it down for the whole flight. I borrowed it from the library, read it then went looking for my own copy. Soon after I bought a copy, sister in law gave it to me for Christmas. To keep all the info together - the title is "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" by Mark Haddon. The author does not have autism or Asperger's and has won awards for his writing. I'm not surprised. There is a deceptive simplicity in this book. I'm trying to get my boys to read it (it's not as if we don't have enough copies!) but it could be a bit too deep for difficult child 3, at least. He really is too much like Christopher, the main character in the book; plus, the emotional journey Christopher has to travel would be too distressing and too alien for difficult child 3, where he is at the moment. And your US schools are using this as curriculum material? I might make some suggestions over here, it could only help with understanding. Maybe a book review in our local paper? Marg [/QUOTE]
