“Bronson uses his hands with manly pride. There is precision in his movements. He is deliberate, slow and meticulous. We chat as he asks for the tools, smiling as I hand them to him as if he were a surgeon. Then, task finished, he stands back to survey his handiwork. Bronson has started a training course. He has a job. He’s a working class man. Now he moves in the world of men and machines, strangers and family alike, with satisfaction and humour - living beyond a minimal life. Given ‘wings to fly’.”
Brooks continues the journey with her son, Bronson, with life after ‘I’m not broken, I’m just different’. She includes some untold earlier stories. The book includes several chapters by Professor Tony Attwood on the future of Asperger's, which brings hope.
There is a view into the fearless flight of her son into manhood, past interviews with friends and specialists, which give an intimate window into their lives and also a selection of posters.
Brooks brings warmth, passion and wit to life once more, as we gain insights into her life with her son, and ultimately awareness of this misunderstood syndrome. The beauty of this edition is it’s triumph.
