Looking for Normal

- An Autistic Boy Who Beat The Odds

About Looking for Normal

AN AUTISTIC BOY WHO BEAT THE ODDS. Looking For Normal is the memoir of author, musician and filmmaker Steve Slavin. His obsession with music, at an early age, led to a long career in the creative arts, albeit one plagued by clinical depression and the symptoms of a condition he was unaware of until 2008. In recounting the 48 years that led to his autism diagnosis, this darkly humorous memoir will inform and inspire anyone with an interest in mental health and autism. But more than this, it is the story of an "emotionally disturbed child, without a future" who, against the backdrop of low expectation, became an ambitious, independent adult, with a wife, daughters, and a career stifled by the long shadow of his childhood dysfunction. "Although I was scared, I swam out beyond my comfort zone and into the deeper waters beyond."
