This is an autobiographical account of a mother's struggle to bring up a child with a learning disorder. It tells the story of Ibrahim Rahman and his struggle with a speech and language disorder, part of the autistic spectrum disorder.

Format:Paperback
This is a courageous tale of how a family copes when a child is diagnosed as having severe learning difficulties. It is told by Ibrahim's mother in a clear, straightforward style which makes it really easy to read. The book follows Ibrahim's life from birth through to his teenage years and includes many anecdotes, some amusing and some sad.
I really felt for Ibrahim's mother in the beginning as she voices her frustrations caused by a general lack of support. As the years pass, Ibrahim's condition is finally recognised and we witness a kind of metamorphosis as he begins to stand on his own two feet.
I think this book would be really useful for teachers or healthcare workers - it would give them a greater understanding of SPLD as well as other learning disorders. Parents will also find it invaluable, particularly if they are coping with a similar situation.

Format:Paperback
This is an autobiographical account of a mother's struggle to bring up a child with a learning disorder, Semantic Pragmatic Language Disorder, part of the autistic spectrum of disorders. It highlights the lack of awareness within society generally and in particular in the Bangladeshi community where autism is not recognised. Written in a simple, straightforward and disarmingly honest style, the book follows Ibrahim Rahman's progress from his birth to his transition to secondary school. His family are an integral part of the book and Ibrahim's developing relationships with family members are ceaselessly fascinating. The triumphs, tragedies and traumas of the dozen years or so covered by the book are faithfully laid down and one can feel the frustrations and the joys as Ibrahim develops. Those of us whose families are untouched by autism can only admire Shahidun Rahman, firstly for the way she has faced up to the challenge, and secondly for recording her experiences honestly and courageously. For those who face family life in the shadow of autism, the author and we hope that this book will help and inspire; it is, for all of us, an uplifting book.

A personal insight into the world of an autistic child, his mother and the struggles they have to overcome.
Ibrahim is born into a British Bangladeshi family, his mother starts to notice that her son isn't developing at the same rate as other children his age. As Ibrahim gets older, the signs become clearer and eventually Ibrahim is diagnosed with Semantic Pragmatic Language Disorder - a form of Autism.
An inspiring and heart warming book, with touching and moving stories of the difficulties Ibrahim and his mother had to face as Ibrahim was growing up in a society where there is a lack of understanding of his condition.
The book is very well written - clear, concise and easy to read. Highly recommended for anyone whose life is touched by Autism or similar disorders.
