About the book
What is normal? How do we, as humans of every kind, “fit in”? What is it we’re fitting into? Paul’s World takes us into the mind and heart of Paul, who was born with cerebral palsy into a family of “normal” siblings. Paul’s unique personality exhibits many—but not all—characteristics of what, until recently, had been referred to as Asperger’s syndrome. Paul loves people and having fun, but his lack of cuing into normal social skills has made “fitting in” a challenge. He meets that challenge with his outgoing personality, enthusiasm, and humor—winning friends everywhere he goes. Paul’s story of love, frustrations, and conversations with God as his counselor, as told interchangeably by Paul and his mom, is inspiring people from all walks of life to handle their own life difficulties with optimism and humor.
