Situation Zane gives the reader an unfiltered snapshot of this mainstream family whose 12 year old son is autistic. Zane is brilliant and funny, but he has difficulty managing his emotions as well as handling certain everyday tasks. Partly informative, partly entertaining, the author keeps the reader engaged as she provides insights into how the family uses patience, love, trial and error and a healthy dose of humor, to navigate the complex and sometimes treacherous waters of Situation Zane.
