Rex - Powerful Story


Rex is a powerful story full of hope for all people who are touched by autism. Rex has an additional challenge of being void of sight.
Cathleen struggles to find a reason why her son is blind and autistic. She is a single parent and seeks out an appropriate education for her son. It is heartbreaking to hear the teasing that Rex endured during his primary school years. Each child born today has a 1 in 150 chance in being diagnosed with autism.

There is hope. With intervention, parents can be assured that their child will become the best that they can be. In Rex’s case, he is a musician. He can hear the notes once and can replay it instantly and modify it to make it his own style.

Rex is a beautiful young man with an inspiring story to tell. He is like any other child. He laughs, sings, and has emotions. As a mother with a son diagnosed with high-functioning autism, I appreciated the frankness of Cathleen. Cathleen is advocate for her son. Rex is an inspiration to many. He is meeting his purpose on earth. God has a plan for him as Cathleen stated in the book ~ Jeremiah 29:11.

If you are touched by autism in any way, shape, or form, I urge you to buy this book and may you look at the world in a whole new way; through the eyes of Rex.
