Love & romance: a serious dilemma facing many parents of autistic teens, single parent or not. Jaya, 18, is growing up. To Izzie's alarm, all her daughter wants from life is to get married and have babies. This creates a moral dilemma for Izzie. How she can continue to protect Jaya whilst at the same time letting her go? Life as the single mum of a learning-disabled teenager is tough. But for Izzie, the boundless love she feels for her beautiful, sparky daughter is reward enough in itself, fuelling the energy she pours into fighting her child's corner. With little prospect of meaningful employment or continuing education for Jaya, Izzie wonders if perhaps finding a 'suitable husband' via an arranged marriage wouldn't be so crazy. But when Jaya falls head over heels for a teaching assistant in her college's Special Educational Needs department, it sets in motion a disastrous sequence of events which turns things around in a way that nobody could ever have foreseen. That Special Someone has to be one of the best novels about autism and the problems of single parenting ever written.
