ShareWhile Curt Schilling was leading the Red Sox to two World Series on the field, things on the homefront were falling apart with a depressed wife, an anorexic son and another son who was not just unruly - he was “irrational.”
That’s according to Curt’s wife, Shonda Schilling, who has written a book, “The Best Kind of Different,” about her son Grant’s struggle with Asperger’s syndrome and the chaotic conditions in the Schilling household that led to the diagnosis.

There's been an interesting story line on NBC's new show "Parenthood" regarding Asperger's. They really kind of delved into it tonight and it was educational.
No one is perfect. And it doesn't matter how rich you are. Everyone has their crosses to bear. God bless.

AbusiveEhh, sometimes I feel celebrities are putting their kids out their inappropriately. I don\'t think they need the money, and I\'m not convinced this book is going to be the difference in understanding and improving the life of those with aspergers. Reminds me of Jenny McCarthy putting her kid out there about autism . Do the children really have a say?

Broons - we put up with you on a daily basis in the Sox threads. Not here.
You claim have a young son and told us you both just went to Ft Myers to see the Sox because he is a big fan.
Being a parent yourself, I would hope you might have some compassion and keep your selfish comments to yourself.
This is a brave story to tell for any family.
Why must you always be a giant tool ?
You have told us many times you hate the Sox.
Your problem is deeper than that.
The Shillings have given back much to their community.
Being a good parent is a constant struggle and not something money can buy.
Good luck to them and their family.
And yours.
