I'm trying to remember the name of a book that I heard about on the radio. Can you help?

It's a true story -- about a mom and dad who have a son and when he is about 2-years-old, he is diagnosed with autism. Eventually his mom starts a day care and has only children diagnosed with autism and discovers that most are very intelligent and can become productive citizens. One little boy is always trying to take the back cover of the tv off the tv! The mom goes to a store that accepts broken tvs, computers, etc. She buys several (because they are not expensive) and this little boy actually gets them working again. It sounded like a wonderful book but I cannot remember the name. I do remember it was only a two-word title, starting with "The" and the 2nd word started with an "S" and sort of described these kids -- the word was not "special" but something sort of like that. I would love to read this book, but I cannot find it because I don't know the title. Thanks for any help.
