About the Book:

Not My Boy!

In Not My Boy!: A Father, A Son, and One Family’s Journey with Autism, Rodney Peete tells a heartrending account of a father’s personal journey with his son R.J.’s autism. Like many fathers dealing with a special-needs child, Peete’s expectations and hopes drastically changed when his son was diagnosed with autism at the age of three. This book explores how Peete and his wife fought through the challenge and how their marriage became stronger as a result. He also offers parents valuable wisdom on how to handle feelings of guilt and frustration that arise with siblings of an autistic child. A portion of the proceeds from Not My Boy! will go to autism charities.
