Read this book when it was published in 1999. My son was 5,but memories of my pregnancy & his early birth(3 & 1/2 weeks) were still fresh.I did have amnio due to my age, which came back negative for Down‘s Syndrome.We felt a sense of relief at the time.The same year that I read the book,we got Robert‘s definitive diagnosis of Autism. 💙💚🧡
