Sitat:

Finnes det ikke en annen variant også? Der barna er underytere, mer enn normalt passive og særdeles selvsentrerte? Jeg har en mistanke om at min eldste sønn lider av ett eller annet. Har gått runden med ham fra barne psyk til spesialister i ditt og spesialister i datt. Har fått testet ham for alt fra melkeintoleranse til hjerneskade. Alle er enige om at min sønn er uvanlig, men ingen greier å sette en diagnose. Så derfor leter jeg videre.
