Best-selling author and the Upper Valley’s own Jodi Picoult has donated a signed copy of her latest book, House Rules, to benefit the Special Needs Support Center. House Rules is about Jacob Hunt, a teenage boy with Asperger’s Syndrome. He’s hopeless at reading social cues or expressing himself well to others, and like many kids with AS, Jacob has a special focus on one subject – in his case, forensic analysis. He’s always showing up at crime scenes, thanks to the police scanner he keeps in his room, and telling the cops what they need to do…and he’s usually right. But then one day his tutor is found dead, and the police come to question him. Jacob finds himself accused of murder. House Rules looks at what it means to be different in our society, how autism affects a family, and how our legal systems works well for people who communicate a certain way – but lousy for those who don’t.
