A powerful story of parents taking their son on a journey to be freed of his autism. The boy has a special relationship with horses. The journey is an impossible one, but when done with child with autism, it becomes almost impossible ( )

I liked this book more than I thought I would. It was very well-written. From the first page I was into the story. And what a story! I won't recount the story line as that's been done before, but I will say that it was an interesting read, to say the least. It's part medical story/mystery, part travel journal, part adventure story, and ALWAYS an unflinchingly honest personal account of a family's efforts to help their son. Anyone interested in autism, non-Western healing,the beauty of Mongolia, or who just loves memoires will enjoy this book. ( )

Horse Boy
Do u every like reading about autism? I admire the author with his courage to write about autism and horses. I like this book because it has many great details. It also talks about when the father and son gets to go riding on the horses and the son gets to know the horse well. Children with autisms would become friends with any animal as if it was an family member I would like the author to write about amnesia. My favorite character is Rowan because he fall in love with the horse and that’s what people like him do. The book has 114 reviews on amazon.
AUTHOR Robert Isaacson was born in London. He is married to a women named Kristin and they had a son named Rowan. This book has 114 reviews on Amozon.
