In this frank, beautifully written account, Barbara LaSalle reveals what it's really like to parent a child with a neurological disorder, communicating her son's unique perception of the world while describing her own struggle to love an "unpresentable" son.  Burdened for many years with the fear that the world might look at Ben and somehow see her own failure, LaSalle is now able to delve deep into her own story, and Ben's, to tell the unvarnished truth.  With two remarkable stories to tell, Finding Ben is both a fascinating look at a baffling neurological disorder and the profound story of one mother's personal journey from frustration and resentment to love and acceptance.
