520 8 |a What do you do when your usually happy son with low-functioning autism is deemed difficult and unruly? From the author of 'Running with Walker', this gripping memoir reveals the highs and lows of adult life with low-functioning autism, and portrays a very special relationship between one son and his parents in the midst of a toxic situation.  |b Most people would describe Walker Hughes as warm, enthusiastic and charismatic - even if he doesn't say very much. But after several happy years living in a group home, Walker descended into a deep unhappiness, and his parents were told that their son with low-functioning autism was 'unmanageable' and a danger to others. Where did it all go wrong?From the author of Running with Walker, this witty and touching memoir tells a story of crisis and recovery of a young man with low-functioning autism. Battling miscommunication, misinterpreted behaviour and a lack of appropriate services, Walker and his parents' resilience shines through, providing a much-needed portrayal about what life is like for adults with low-functioning autism, and how we can understand the complex personalities of people with communication difficulties.
