Steve Slavin is the author of Looking For Normal, and Timothy Blossom - Officially Brilliant. Looking For Normal recounts a life spent in the shadow of his childhood emotional dysfunction, and later through a successful career as a musician and filmmaker. The book culminates in his surprise autism diagnosis at forty-eight years of age. Timothy Blossom - Officially Brilliant, is about a twelve-year-old boy coming to terms with an autism diagnosis. It is the first in a series in which Timothy Blossom attempts to make sense of the world, in his own unique way. The Timothy Blossom books are heartwarming and insightful: relatable to children who think differently about life, and enlightening for their parents and educators.
