Ketchup Is My Favorite Vegetable by Liane Kupferberg Carter

How do you create an ordinary family life, while dealing with the extraordinary needs of a child with autism? Meet Mickey — charming, funny, compassionate and autistic. In this unflinching portrait of family life, Liane Kupferberg Carter gives us a mother’s insight into what really goes on in the two decades after diagnosis. From the double-blow of a subsequent epilepsy diagnosis, to bullying and Bar Mitzvahs, Mickey’s struggles and triumphs along the road to adulthood are honestly detailed to show how one family learned to grow and thrive with autism.
