2017 American Society of Journalists and Authors Outstanding Book Awards Honorable Mention2016 Foreword INDIES Book of The Year Awards FinalistHow do you create an ordinary family life, while dealing with the extraordinary needs of an autistic child?Meet Mickey - charming, funny, compassionate, and autistic. In this unflinching memoir, Liane Kupferberg Carter delivers a mother's insight into what really goes on in the two decades after diagnosis. From the double-blow of a subsequent epilepsy diagnosis, to bullying, Bar Mitzvahs and prom, Mickey's struggles and triumphs along the road to adulthood are honestly detailed to show how one family learned to grow and thrive with autism.?Ketchup is my Favorite Vegetable is the best kind of autism memoir because it is a family story. Even the pets are included. After all, autism is a family experience.? ? From the foreword by Susan Senator'It's rare for someone to be able to write about life with a special needs child and make it an enjoyable read, but Liane's prose is so good-so smart and funny and lucid and elegant-that even when she's exploring the fears and anxieties a parent faces, she makes it all somehow entertaining. There's real information in these pages for parents going through similar journeys, but it's accompanied by so much empathy and warmth that even those whose lives are untouched by this kind of thing will enjoy reading this. I would recommend it to every parent I know.' -- Claire LaZebnik, author of Overcoming Autism
