The Unstoppable Eddie Fugate

Little Eddie Fugate is diagnosed with autism during a time when few people even know what that means. At just six years old, he is sent to the Orient State Institute, which sounds fancy, but it is just a big farm out in Ohio with a bunch of folks like Eddie.

Now, Eddie’s a natural mischief-maker, and soon he catches the eye of a young worker named Susan Armstrong. She sees that Eddie possesses unique gifts, not supernatural, but everyday gifts in super-abundance. With Susan’s help and Eddie’s determination, he pursues the simplest of dreams: to be like everyone else, nothing more.
