What do sand and cookies have in common? Or hockey sticks with stuffed animals and bruises with flyers? Ask Martin Selner! Besides working at the Sunny Home, where he cares for children with autism, he has the gift of connecting two seemingly unrelated things. These unusual pairs serve as a springboard for him to bring us closer to the world of autistic children and their, as well as his, daily concerns. "Little things are here to remind us of big things," he notes, and in short chapters, he warns that life with autism, whether it's a diagnosis for you or someone close, certainly doesn't look like it does in Rain Man; nevertheless, it's important not to lose your sense of humor and sometimes to open a good bottle of wine. The book Autism & Chardonnay is based on the eponymous blog.
