Once a typical boy, Owen's journey with PANS/PANDAS began after he was exposed to an infection that changed everything. Abruptly faced with severe anxiety, OCD, tics, and rage, Owen finds himself navigating a world full of doctors, medical tests, IVIG, and even weird smoothies. Likening his journey to a climb up a challenging hill, Owen helps the reader understand that sometimes the path is straight and easy, but sometimes you must zig-zag or find another way to the top.
This book is something that helped explain to my child what might be going on inside his brain. At six years old, it's hard to know the right way or the perfect words to explain something that you aren't even exactly informed of is exceptionally hard. This book gave my son an example to remind him that he is not alone! Thank you for providing such a great book for the world, and especially my family. I wish your family continued success.
