“Sometimes I do not like David. He is so different. He speaks a different language. . . . David is my brother.” Thus begins a moving story about David, who has autism, and his older brother, who is trying to understand the world David inhabits. David does not like when people are noisy; he does not like being hugged. David does not laugh when happy or cry when sad. He speaks his own language, which is difficult to understand at times. Even though he is not like most children, through the eyes of his brother we are able to see how understanding happens between David and his world.
