You Are Okay, Dad
A Novel of a Father, His Autistic Son, and Every Door That Closed.By Luke Brant
Length6h 48m
About this audiobook
An engineer tries to debug his son.
Sam has fixed every system anyone handed him. Then Cassian arrives, the loudest baby on the ward, and one by one the daycares, preschools, and schools of Los Angeles call to say the same thing: they can't handle him.
Sam keeps logs, builds binders, hunts for the bug, certain the right data will fix it. His wife, Nora, an architect, draws the family's life onto trace paper hour by hour to keep it standing. Their daughter, Dana, makes her own rules in the middle of the storm.
Then Sam breaks down on the kitchen floor, and the boy the world keeps sending home puts two fingers on his father's wet cheek and says, "You are ok, dad."
Told in Sam's voice, with passages from inside Cassian's own world, this is a novel about a father learning to stop fixing his son and start hearing him.
For every parent who has taken one more "please come pick him up" call and needed to know someone else survived it.
