Synopsis

May 2011 sees the launch of You’re Not Alone by Andy Childs, a positive and deeply rewarding true story of the author’s son, Philip, who was born with severe autism but has nonetheless gone to lead a full and successful life. You’re Not Alone is a story of courage and triumph, an uplifting tale of achievement from a young man who defied his learning disability to flourish and serve as an inspiration for many others in his position as well as their parents. We follow Philip from his earliest years, through his schooling at special school right up until the present day where he is currently settled with the Home Farm Trust. Along the way we travel with Philip on not one but two gruelling cycle rides from Land’s End to John O Groats, meet a host of famous faces from David Tomlinson to Princess Anne to Griff Rhys Jones (who has also kindly provided the foreword) and experience his life from childhood to adulthood with its inevitable ups and downs. Heartrending but always upbeat, dramatic but always positive, You’re Not Alone is a deeply insightful and soul-searching true story that is bound to move the reader told in an easily readable, passionate style that comes straight from the heart.
