The ​Getting Sean Out manuscript tells how a gifted young teacher taught severely impaired teen Sean how to open his heart, step out in the world, and never stop trying. The legacy of their work lives on as Sean's family helps other families get out on the trail.

       Sean, a 14-year-old boy with autism was trapped at home by his extreme neurosensory challenges. Despite investments in the best therapies, Sean and his family descended into despair because of the limitations imposed by his condition. At a moment when things felt darkest, an unexpected caregiver arrived in their life. Thirty-year-old David drew Sean out of the house and onto stunning nature trails in the San Francisco Bay Area.
​       After David’s sudden and unexpected death (In Memory and Thanks), Sean’s mother created HikingAutism.com, a website to help other families touched by autism find their way outdoors and onto hiking trails. Sean and his family now lead other Bay Area families on nature hikes.
