Diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome at the age of forty he approached fatherhood as a series of logic puzzles and practical jokes. Instead of a speech about the birds and the bees he told his son Cubby that he'd bought him at the Kid Store and that the salesman had cheated him by promising Cubby would do all chores. While other parents played catch with their kids John taught Cubby to drive the family's antique Rolls - Royce. Still Cubby seemed to be turning out pretty well at least until school authorities decided that he was dumb and stubborn the very same thing John had been told as a child. Did Cubby have Asperger's too? The answer was unclear. One thing was clear though: By the time he turned seventeen Cubby had become a brilliant and curious chemist smart enough to make military - grade explosives and bring federal agents calling. With Cubby facing a felony trial and up to sixty years in prison both father and son were forced to take stock of their lives finally accepting that being on the spectrum is both a challenge and a unique gift.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Raising Cubby A Father And Son's Adventures With Asperger's Trains Tractors And High Explosives\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Robison John Elder\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Broadway Books (A Division Of Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group Inc)\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780307884855\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 384 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 3\/18\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Child Care \u0026amp; Upbringing","brand":"Robison John Elder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51333004230961,"sku":"IN-G-9780307884855","price":17.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9780307884855.jpg?v=1746879031","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780307884855-raising-cubby-a-father-and-sons-adventures-with-aspergers-trains-tractors-and-high-explosives","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
