When I was first introduced to ten-year-old Justin, he had high functioning autism. He could verbally express his needs, hold a limited conversation with most people and could perform most age-appropriate physical activities. He also had epilepsy, meaning he often had seizures. So, when I became his PCA (Personal Care Attendant) I had to deal with the autism related behaviors and his epileptic seizures. This book shows the reader what it was like for Justin to live with his autism and seizures daily, but more importantly, what his family went through because of it.

All of Grandpa’s stories are funny, silly, embarrassing and sometimes gross, but always entertaining and best of all the stories are true.
