When Marti Leimbach's son Nicholas was 3, he couldn't speak, was destructive and uncommunicative. She thought he would grow out of this difficult stage - after all, her daughter has been an awkward toddler and had turned into a cheerful, bright 5-year-old. But when she consulted a paediatrician about her son she was told her was autistic. Marti has now written a novel based in her son's diagnosis and the effect it had on her family, called Daniel Isn't Talking.
