What About the Boy?

A Father's Pledge to His Disabled Son

by Stephen Gallup

November 28 Interview with Cecile Forte, PhD

Today I enjoyed my 12th media interview concerning WATB. As occasionally happens, discussion took off in unexpected directions, so that I failed to make certain points that had felt important when starting out. On the other hand, these conversations have all been good experiences and have certainly kept me on my toes. Please click here for the audio. Excerpt below:

“I probably am the biggest winner in the family for the way that things have turned out. That’s one reason why I titled my book What About the Boy?, because I keep trying to bring the focus back to him. Because he doesn’t speak for himself and it’s so obvious to me as I look at the story I’ve written that we can’t avoid seeing things from our own perspective. And he doesn’t really have a way of presenting his case. And so I’m trying to do that for him in writing the book.”
