Herbert Komar’s unique life, like that of many disabled people, contained a learning experience for all who knew him. Through real life stories, this book takes the reader on a path of difficulty and heartache, beginning with Herbert’s first 16 months of normal life, the events that lead to his disability, the journey to diagnose his condition and the big changes necessary to settle into a life adapted for a disabled child. Keeping a sense of humour and being patient were the cornerstones in his family’s life, primarily his mothers. Written from Traude’s experience of thirty-three years with Herbert, with family and friends adding their perspective, this is a truly inspiring guide. Through the growing years many unusual situations occur that both enlighten and dishearten, particularly those, which show a general attitude of intolerance to the disabled. The insights here are also for the medical profession who treat and work with disabled people. Doctors are taught more about disabilities than they were years ago when Herbert was first diagnosed, which is a tremendous advance. The general community would be well rewarded by reading here what life is like for the disabled and their families.
