The day my daughter Miranda was bom was the
happiest of my life. I sang as I drove to and from the
hospital. But by the next morning this beautiful new
world had changed. The doctor told me and my wife,
Katharine, that Miranda was very seriously ill and had
to have an operation.

Miranda's operation was successful, but when she
came out of hospital she was still sick and cried
non-stop. We had to carry her in aur arms. We could
never put her down, not even for one moment. Our
life changed completely. Before we had been a happy
couple; now we grew tired and old.

her problems suddenly ended. Life was getting back

He became a fat and happy baby. We felt that we
were a normai family.

was wrong with him. He could play happily for hours,

went to the doctor who said John suffered frem
autism. This meant that he would never live in the
same world as other people.
