Review: Amazing and moving - This is an instantly engaging book (based on several real-life accounts) telling the story of a mother's journey as she first discovers and then comes to terms with her son's autism. I have an autistic child and recognised almost all of the situations depicted: the feelings of guilt and helplessness and the amazing highs you can get from things most parents take for granted. It is a wonderfully honest and ultimately positive portrayal and I would recommend it to anyone, not just those with an interest in autism.
Review: A rare read - Well, as one of my friends said to me once, you can find a manga about ANYTHING! From tranvenstite space aliens that fall in love with an amoeba (if you have found something like that, inform me please), to something as rare and good as With the light. I became familiar with it through a firend who has a copy of it. I was intrigued because it's title is so simple and self explanetory, unlike many manga I have found. I was also intrigued because autism is a subject rarely, if ever, comes in the light. Most people just ignore autistic children and people. Retards they say. And so I started reading the volume. Mind you we were about to begin a session of RPG, which was delayed since when I picked this volume up, I did not wish to put it down. The story line is simple. A young woman got married with the "best" possible husband, as the japanese society sees these things, and dreams the perfect life. But her young son, Hikari (light in japanese, they love such puns, they do) doesn't stop crying. The reason is simple. He is autistic. The story progressess from there, and it is so well writen and illustrated that you get submerged in the story. I would highly recomend it to anyone out there that wants to make a meaningfull present, even to non funs.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A real eye opener, in more ways than one
*by L***Y on 9 December 2008*

I found this book by accident and bought it on a spur of the moment, as I have autism (though not to the degree of the characters in the book) I wondered how it would compare to my own life... I have to say, it really made me think, it made me wonder just what effect I had on my families life as I saw allot of myself within the pages. The hardships my parents must have gone through. If you wish to understand Autism without all the complicated psychology, I can't think of a book better than this.
