What a Parent and what a Kiddo!

Revisado: 04-13-18

What made the experience of listening to The Spark: A Mother's Story of Nurturing Genius the most enjoyable?

This book is enjoyable because it offers hope to both parents of children on the spectrum as well as the children themselves. Not every child is going to be a genius, however, they will offer something of value to this world if given the tools necessary. Kristine wasn't a wealthy person, nor particularly knowledgeable about Autism (by her own admission through the book), but she did study as much material as she could find and worked with what she had around her to help her son, Jacob, become as successful as he could be.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Spark: A Mother's Story of Nurturing Genius?

The most memorable section was when Jacob was working on his original theorem and was writing all over his room. Kristine liken it to the scene from "A Beautiful Mind" and I would have to agree, that was the imagery that immediately came to mind.

Which scene was your favorite?

My favorite part was when they go to look at Mars for the first time, I had a similar experience with my son at a meteorologist led seminar recently.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Right from the start, the book grabs you and moves you when the mother opens up the book with a story of her small child conversing on an intellectual with college students.

Any additional comments?

If you have a child on the spectrum, read this book. If you know someone who does have a child on the spectrum, read this book, then give it to them to read. The more people who know that they have a chance to make something special happen, the more that something special could actually happen.
