Living with a son who has autism, a side effect of d.p.t. vaccine. His mother takes you on a journey through their tragic and devastating lifestyle as her son's behavior becomes increasingly bizarre and uncontrollable after his routine d.p.t. vaccination.

The Boy in the Window is a hearfelt and poignant story told with astounding love and humor. His mother takes you on a journey through their tragic and devastating lifestyle as her son's behavior becomes increasingly bizarre and uncontrollable after his routine d.p.t. vaccination. Suffering brain damage, seizures and a condition called autism, professionals encouraged institutionalization for him, and said that his autism would only worsen with time. They warned the likelihood of non-verbal, autistic individuals to improve socially or any other way was discouragingly remote.

Not believing her son was without intelligence, in spite of his aggressive and intolerable behaviors, she searched endlessly for therapies, hoping her son would improve.

You will laugh and cry as this mother describes impossible situations, and Kenny's antics throughout this family's daily struggles.

In spite of a major communication breakthrough at the age of 17, where his thoughts exploded with the magic of Houdini and the innocence and honesty of the boy trapped inside, his intense compulsions became even more difficult to contend with as he grew older.

Throughout the challenges and disappointments, his parents refuse to give up hope. And now in their sixties, live with the burden of Kenny's future without them. Any parent that has a child with a disability will see themselves somewhere in these pages. "The Boy in the Window" is truly a story of unconditional love and unyielding courage.
