Boy alone

Karl Taro Greenfeld had far from an idyllic, suburban childhood. He grew up in the 1960’s coping with the all-consuming demands of his brother Noah's autism, which his Father wrote about in a bestselling book called "A Child Called Noah". In "Boy Alone: A Brother's Memoir" Greenfeld expresses all the frustration and fury of living intimately with his brother’s severe disability. He describes Noah's erratic behavior as well as his own isolation, the flip side of his brother's inability to function as a self-sufficient adult. Larry Mantle talks with the author about the challenges families and especially siblings face in living with an autistic child.
