A new look at this classic! When first published, this book was a groundbreaking look from inside the mind of a person with autism. The dual autobiography is written in point-counterpoint style by Sean and his mother, Judy. Together, they chronicled his young life and the effects of autism on him and his family. In this updated edition, we learn that Sean has become a successful news reporter, has kept a lasting relationship with his girlfriend, and no longer views autism as a disability.

Sean Barron is a very interesting and intelligent young man who has faced the challenge of autism. He and his mother wrote an insightful book on their lives together. There's a Boy in Here has won many accolades for offering the unique perspectives of two people who look at the same world but see and feel entirely different things. Mr. Barron has progressed to the point that it is difficult to even realize that he once was truly impacted by autism/Asperger's Syndrome. He is now a journalist, lives independently, and recently co-authored Unwritten Rules of Social Relationships with Dr.Temple Grandin. Sean is a graduate of Youngstown State University and is a journalist for The Youngstown Vindicator. Judy Barron is a lyricist and a writer who divides her time between writing children's songs and books and painting floor cloths and faux finishes. She lives in Poland, Ohio.
