KNOWING ALEX Life with Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum by Alex Reisenauer and Cindy Mauro Reisenauer
On the day their son was born, Cindy and Richard Reisenauer were advised to institutionalize him. Alex had been diagnosed with a frightening and unpredictable condition with the indecipherable name of Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum. Simply put, Alex was missing an integral portion of his brain- the band of nerve fibers that connects the two hemispheres.
The Reisenauer's chose to take their newborn home to join his two brothers, and face the daily hardships and minor miracles of life with ACC as a family. Every aspect of Alex's condition presented developmental, medical, social, educational, and vocational challenges.
This is the story of how his parents and siblings came to know the person Alex is, and how they helped him become the person he could be. Knowing Alex Life with Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum is a story of love, family, and friendship.
