520    Offers a memoir that explores the parental expectations 
       associated with modern parenting from the father of a 
       mildly autistic boy, who learned to accept his son's 
       condition as the two travelled to national monuments and 
       met with former presidents. 
520    "Tyler and I inch toward the Green Room, in line with blow
       -dried TV anchors and stuffy columnists. He's practicing 
       his handshake and hello: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr.
       President. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. President. 
       It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. President." When the 
       couple in front of us steps forward for their picture, my 
       teenager with sky-blue eyes and a soft heart looks up at 
       me and says, "I hope I don't let you down, Dad." What kind
       of father raises a son to worry about embarrassing his 
       dad? I want to tell Tyler not to worry, that he'd never 
       let me down. That there's nothing wrong with being 
       different. That I actually am proud of what makes him 
       special. But we are next in line to meet the president of 
       the United States in a room filled with fellow strivers, 
       and all I can think about is the real possibility that 
       Tyler might embarrass himself. Or, God forbid, me. LOVE 
       THAT BOY is a uniquely personal story about the causes and
       costs of outsized parental expectations. What we want for 
       our children--popularity, normalcy, achievement, genius--
       and what they truly need--grit, empathy, character--are 
       explored by National Journal's Ron Fournier, who weaves 
       his extraordinary journey to acceptance around the latest 
       research on childhood development and stories of other 
       loving-but-struggling parents"--|cProvided by publisher. 
520    "Ron Fournier, bestselling author, editor of the National 
       Journal, and former head of the Associated Press's 
       Washington Bureau, writes movingly of the outsized and 
       crushing expectations that come from parents and with 
       parenting today, through the lens of his relationship with
       his son, Tyler, who has mild Asperger's."--|cProvided by
