But during one play date, his mother notices that her son is slightly different from the other children. In the alternately heartwarming and bittersweet tale, a young mother tries to cope with both the overwhelming discovery of her child's autism and the trials of raising him while keeping her family together. This is a story that resonates not only for those whose families have been affected by autism, but also for all past, present, and future parents. 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. ## Features - New - Mint Condition - Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon - Guaranteed packaging - No quibbles returns ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 1,513,223 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 2,517 in Child Development 3,086 in Children & Adolescent's Autism Spectrum 28,214 in Manga (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 72 Reviews | ## Images ![With the Light...

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. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/65761645-with-the-light-vol-1-raising-an-autistic-child-light](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/65761645-with-the-light-vol-1-raising-an-autistic-child-light) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-23*
