Bringing up autistic children30 Apr 2004
Charlotte Moore and her children (L-R) George (14), Sam (12), and non-autistic Jake (6).
Charlotte Moore describes life with her two autistic sons in a new book.

By the time her eldest son George was two, he could recognise all the letters of the alphabet. But then he changed and his mother Charlotte sensed something was seriously wrong. Just before his fourth birthday, George was diagnosed as autistic.

His little brother Sam at first seemed very different, lively and independent. Then doctors told Charlotte that he too was autistic. Her third son, Jake is not autistic. Charlotte has written an account of life with her family . She tells Martha why she doesn't believe in a cure and wouldn't want one anyway.
