Description
Anna Wilson's A Place for Everything is a searing and profoundly affecting memoir about her mother's late-diagnosis of autism. Growing up in a loving but eccentric household, Anna learned to navigate the complexities of her mother's behaviour, keeping things clean and quiet when needed. As her mother reaches her 70s and Anna starts a family of her own, the cracks begin to appear. Her father's illness sends the world into turmoil, forcing Anna to confront the unspoken truths about her family and care for her parents in their final years. This is a story about life lived with undiagnosed autism, and what it means to care for our loved ones as they age. A vividly told account of one mother's journey, A Place for Everything sheds light on the person behind the disorder, revealing the big unspoken family truths that shape our relationships and experiences.
