A Boy Made of Blocks
I would recommend this book to anyone, especially dads, uncles, grandparents etc. who are struggling to understand the world of an autistic child or their own feelings when dealing with an autistic child. It gives a brilliant insight into both worlds.

It is a non-fiction story but it is written using the author's own experiences of his life with his autistic son.

Fabulous book about a dad's journey to connect with his autistic son and how he learns to understand and connect with him. Great one for the other half to read.

16+. It would be suitable for anyone who comes into contact with a child with special needs. Especially dads. Or anyone who wants a good read.

The parts of the book which stuck out for us (my husband and I) were how the dad struggles to understanding the autistic behaviour of his son and how he, the dad, shuts down because of this. Also, the realisation in the end of what he needs to do to help his son and his family become whole again. The author really helps you to have sympathy with all the characters in the book and how you can understand and identify with the struggles through your own experiences. It is funny in places and sad in others but the journey that Alex and his family take is amazing.

We love books, and there is nothing better than stumbling across a great book that has been recommended by someone else. We bring you honest thoughts on a wide range of literature that may, or may not, appeal to your own reading style.

The book is about the struggles of a dad (Alex) coming to terms with his autistic son (Sam) and how he finds his way back to him and his family life. He loves his wife and son but doesn’t know how to show it. He moves out of the family home and finds a way to connect with his son using Minecraft, which he plays over the internet with Sam. He slowly begins to understand what he needs to do to work his way back and build the relationship with his son (and wife) one block at a time.

I read this book then brought it for my husband to read. It wasn’t until the end of the book that he had the understanding Alex has of autism. The book is written in a way that is easy to identify with all the characters even if you do not have autism or an autistic child.
