Running with Walker
A Memoir
Early Development and Diagnosis
By the time he was three, Walker's parents were concerned enough about his delayed development to consult a paediatric neurologist. Doctors diagnosed autism and issued a grim prognosis: "I hold out no hope for this child". But they hadn't accounted for Walker's intelligence, affection, and sense of humour - or for the remarkable bonds that grew within his family.
Family's Journey and Hope
Walker's father, Robert Hughes, tells a touching and inspiring story of discovering that their "perfect little boy had a problem". With disarming honesty and humour, the book tells how a family copes and keeps hope alive despite the staggering difficulties autism presents.
