The Extraordinary by Brad Schaeffer is a contemporary literary and family novel centered on the intertwined pressures of autism, combat trauma, and domestic strain. Its primary narrator is Wes Scott, a fourteen-year-old autistic boy who is mostly non-verbal and whose inner life is far richer than the people around him can easily recognize. Wes has a singular bond with his father, a Marine Corps captain who understands and affirms him in ways others often cannot. When his father returns from Iraq physically injured and psychologically damaged, the family is forced to confront not only Wes’s isolation but also the destabilizing effects of post-traumatic stress disorder. The novel uses a family crisis to examine how disability and trauma are interpreted by outsiders, caregivers, and loved ones. Rather than treating autism or PTSD as abstract issues, Schaeffer places them inside daily relationships, showing how love, misunderstanding, silence, and resilience shape a family under pressure.
