The writing style is simple. The tone is intimate. And most important, it feels like a real father talking, not a professional giving a lecture.

How Harry Started – A Father in Denial
Harry was not ready to accept the fact that his son was on the autism spectrum. Initially, he tried to blame the system, the doctor, even his own wife. He was uncomfortable with the idea that his child would not be ‘normal.’
But what changed everything was one simple realization – my son needs me, not my denial.
From that point, Harry stopped hiding and started learning. He started listening to his child, reading, meeting other parents, and mostly he started healing himself.
The 2% Rule – Small Steps, Big Changes
One of the most popular concepts in this book is the 2% rule. Harry believes that you don’t need to fix everything today. If you can just improve 2% every day – that is enough.
He gives examples – like spending five more minutes with his son, being patient when he was stressed, and just learning one new thing every day about autism.
This rule makes improvement feel like something possible – not something scary.

Family and Support – He was Never Alone
Harry never claims he did it all alone. He mentions his wife, father, brother, friends, and even his business network who stood with him. The book emphasizes the importance of a supportive environment.
They chose to understand, not to react. And they supported Harry through his lowest moments – his breakdowns, his outbursts, and his growth.
