They instantly fell in love with their son, whose first few months were peaceful. Soon, though, Cari and George recognized that Harris wasn't hitting the developmental markers for his age. It was five years before Harris was diagnosed with Fragile X Syndrome, a genetic disorder that was little-known at the time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArmed with newfound knowledge, Cari and George helped Harris grow and thrive. Today, Harris is an inspiration to his community, from his place on the local hockey team to his job at Canadian Tire. He is proof that someone with disabilities can contribute and make a difference to others and the world around him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHarris and Me is both a family memoir and a support guide to help others whose children are living with disabilities. The book chronicles the family's four decades \"living with Fragile X,\" with hilarious and heart-warming anecdotes from Harris' first steps to his more independent adulthood. The book helps parents gain a better understanding of the challenges and joys ahead and reminds us never to give up on our children - or on ourselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e FriesenPress\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/08\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781038325631\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.63d","brand":"Cari Forteath","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51844039147701,"sku":"9781038325631","price":28.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_0e0d8f4b-742c-42af-9e43-a6905ebe8555.jpg?v=1759848931","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/harris-and-me-living-with-fragile-x-syndrome-9781038325631","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
