Chipperfield, Ruth.

Gordon. business as usual / Ruth Chipperfield. - 240 pages : color illustrations ; 22 cm

Gordon, now aged 61, has an intellectual disability, with almost no speech. Everywhere he went, travelling daily by bus and train, he made friends. He had adventures his parents could never have dreamed of! This is the story of his parents, of changing attitudes towards people with Special Needs, of the founding of St Michael's House and of the Peacehaven Trust. And though there have been troubled times, the story of Gordon is full of comedy and fun, and it rings with joy.
