Almost Daniel

This book was written for every parent or caregiver who struggles to understand their children who are unique and have no "operator's manual." The story tells of the journey of Daniel, a young man who was diagnosed with autism and contamination OCD in childhood, following his path from mild to full-blown to carefully controlled obsessive compulsive disorder. In describing her efforts to understand and help her son become an adult, Ms. Rue shares her family's small successes and failures with the intention of helping her readers understand the power of positivity, determination, and love.
