To tell you the truth, they often freak me out. During my time in this galaxy, I've explored quite a few celestial bodies. None is more peculiar than Planet School. .. This is Casey, the eldest of Robyn Campbell's three children, negotiating his way through life the way only a child with Asperger's can. And he is not alone; his brothers, eight-year-old Bailey and five-year-old Archie, come from the same faraway galaxy where life is crazy, exasperating and complete mayhem, but full of love and with never a dull moment. This is their life, from the six-armed, mythical creature they become at Planet Supermarket, reaching in all directions to snatch from the shelves before dividing back into three-little-boy formation and disappearing from sight, to the three geniuses they are at Planet Lego Expo and the precarious time bombs they become at Planet Church. Robyn Campbell shares their unique stories and her own in My Three Aspies, including the invaluable coping strategies that she has developed in the face of such a challenging existence and how her faith has guided her through. As Robyn looks back on the early lives of her boys, the sacrifices she has made and how it feels not to be living the Marie Clare, yummy-mummy dream, and forward to uncertain futures, wondering if a genius obsession with Lego leads to a future as an architect designing for royalty or as a middle aged man playing with Lego, the only thing she is sure of is that she wouldn't change a thing. She has been blessed with one-of-a-kind kids with Asperger's Syndrome who make life challenging but have filled it with unconditional love. No one can ask for more than that.
