With the Light... Vol. 6: Raising an Autistic Child — Keiko Tobe

For Sachiko and Masato, it seems like only yesterday that their
children, Hikaru and Kanon, were little. But these days, Kanon is about
to start elementary school, while Hikaru is getting out into society and
going to junior high by bus. Time may fly, but in the outside world,
some of Hikaru's actions that were acceptable at home or in his
elementary school Special Ed classes just aren't anymore. When one of
these habits creates chaos during the morning commute, Sachiko has to
find a way to clear up a serious misunderstanding with Hikaru's fellow
commuters and take steps to curb any behavior that might stand in the
way of Hikaru living in the world as "a cheerful, working adult."
Furthermore, dealing with the negative attitudes that others - including
her mother-in-law - have about Hikaru begins to take its toll on
Sachiko, especially with Masato occupied at work. Will the stress of
facing new challenges presented by Hikaru's autism drive a rift between
the two?
