THE HORSE BOY - A Father/Son Story

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

More and more films are being made about the vital role that fathers play in the
development of their children. Society is entering a new era of parenting, when
fathers, instead of being emotionally distant breadwinners, are stepping up to
the plate of direct, hands-on parenting. The special bond between father and son
is one of the greatest gifts life can offer. The Horse Boy
tells this story.

The Horse Boy explores one family's journey as they travel halfway across the world in search of a miracle to heal their autistic son.

The Horse Boy does more than chronicle Rowan and his parents' journey across the vast, wild landscape of Mongolia. It delves into the strange world of autism itself, the relationship between humans and animals and between different cultures and different ways of being (autistic vs. normal, or "neuro-typical"), and the nature of healing.

Buy The Horse Boy book and dvd (USA, UKEurope, Australia). Watch the movie on Amazon Kindle.

http://familyenjoyinghi5autism.blogspot...com/2012/07/family-wants-understanding-o..f-asperger.html

Asperger syndrome is a developmental disorder characterized by the inability to gauge emotions or read social cues. It is marked by repetitive rituals and behaviors, peculiar speech and language, and hypersensitivity to light and sound.

Grouped with other autism disorders, Asperger syndrome is thought to be on the milder end of the autism spectrum.
