"A highly readable [and] entertaining telling of what a family, and a marriage especially, goes through when hit with autism spectrum disorders" (Winnipeg Free Press).

Honest, heartfelt, and often candidly funny, this account of a year in the life of a family describes the struggle of a father, a lifelong book-loving obsessive, to enter and understand his son's world—the world of autism—using the materials he knows best: self-help books, feel-good memoirs, literary classics from the Bible to Dr. Seuss, old movies, and a stubborn sense of humor. Bad Animals is an exploration of a baffling condition, a memoir of self-discovery enlivened by a self-deprecating wit, and a quirky love story told by a gifted writer.

"Sardonically funny and heartfelt enough to draw tears, an immensely satisfying read for parents of disabled and non-disabled children alike . . . A funny, deeply moving and refreshingly honest memoir of raising an autistic child." —Montreal Gazette
