Boy Who Belongs

A Boy Who Belongs�is an unflinchingly poetic memoir about raising a profoundly autistic, non-verbal child as a solo parent. By blending prose and reflection, author Carrie Hamilton explores grief, fierce love, and the quiet journey from trying to �fit in� to creating a place to belong. From broken systems and misunderstood behaviours to moments of unexpected joy, this is not a guidebook � it�s a companion for parents who feel unseen and for the children who are too often underestimated. A Boy Who Belongs offers recognition, not resolutions; tenderness, not tidy endings. Above all, it is a testament to a love that never needed translation � and to the courage that it takes to make room for difference in our homes, our systems, and our stories.
