Description

The story of Junee and Rod Waites and their son, Dane. As a baby, Dane Waites didn't smile at his parents, or meet their gaze - Dane smiled at the shadows of moving trees. The movement of the leaves distracted and comforted him in a way that neither toys nor physical comfort could. It was when Dane was five years old that his mother Junee recognised that her son had autism. This book reveals Junee and Rod's joy and heartache of meeting Dane in his world, and drawing him into theirs.

Author Biography:

Junee Waites lives in Bega with her husband Rod, and her son Dane. She has worked tirelessly to promote the rights of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Helen Swinbourne is a journalist, photographer and writer.
