About A.C. LeMieux

In 2000, my 12-year-old son Brendan was diagnosed with Williams syndrome (“WS”), a rare genetic condition described by Oliver Sacks as “a hypermusical species.” I read every piece of medical literature I could get hold of, which back then wasn't all that much, trying to understand the ramifications of this condition on my son's life and being. Our lives took a sharp detour and my book writing took a back seat to being Brendan’s Sherpa, helping him climb his daily mountains, including a ten-year stint as manager/roadie/fill-in bass-and-guitar player for his band of WS musicians, the Kandoo Band. 

 Now I live in a small, book-filled 1918 bungalow near New Haven, Connecticut, with my husband, Tim Pocock, and Brendan. 

And I'm writing again.
