Jednoho dne se mě Jack zeptal: Jakou barvu má pondělí? Cože? odpověděla jsem udiveně. Ty vidíš dny barevně? ptala jsem se. Výchova pěti dětí může být pro většinu rodičů velkou výzvou, ale pokud jedno z dětí dostane diagnózu porucha autistického spektra, život začne být chaotičtější, emotivnější, plný fascinujících momentů s dítětem, jehož způsob myšlení je jiný. Carrie Cariello ve své knize nabízí pohled na to, jak probíhal a probíhá rodinný život v situaci, kdy jedno z dětí prožívá věci jinak. Její kniha je optimistická, Cariello nepíše jen o svém synovi s autismem, ale též o ostatních dětech a o svém muži, o tom, jaký je jejich rodinný život, s čím se potýkají a co zažívají. Nepíše o tom, že by jejich život byl těžší nebo náročnější, ale že je jiný, a dokonce tvrdí, že autismus změnil jejich rodinu k lepšímu. Carrie Cariello je matka pěti dětí, z nichž druhé má poruchu autistického spektra.
