A Regular Guy Review & *Giveaway*


About The Book: A Regular Guy: Growing Up With Autism is a memoir about life with an autistic son, Matthew, written from his mother s perspective. It answers the many questions that people have about autism through the story of Matthew s life spanning from babyhood to young adulthood. A Regular Guy illustrates the many ways in which family, friends and strangers are touched by Matthew s desperate desire to be a regular guy, and how his brutal honesty and social awkwardness bring out the best and worst in people in touching and humorous ways. In turn, A Regular Guy leads readers to love and accept Matthew, quirks and all, and inspires them to understand and tolerate the differences in others.

My Thoughts: What a lovely book. I’ve learned a lot about Autism in the past, but more from the medical standpoint than from a family’s. This book is so touching and lovely; I could not put it down. When you read this book you don’t think “Oh, how sad, her son has Autism,” you think, “Wow, what an amazing strong family.” The way Shumaker tells her story is like she is sitting with you talking to you. Very nice memoir. Bless this family.
