 Shtum is a 2017 novel by Jem Lester.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Ben Jewell and his wife Emma have just learned that their ten-year-old autistic son Jonah, aka JJ, has been rejected for a residential placement because the local authority has decided that he would be better served at home. To help their case, Ben and Emma decide to temporarily split up, because single dads in their situation have a higher success rate with tribunals. Emma will stay at the family home, and Ben and Jonah will move in with Ben's cantankerous father Georg, who has always been distant towards Ben, but dotes on Jonah.

 Big Brother Worship: Georg worshipped his brother Jonatan, who was three years older than he was, even though he didn't talk, wandered off if he wasn't watched, was prone to uncontrollable rages, and seemed to float through life.

 Commonality Connection: Georg sees every word as a lie. To him, the truest language is the language of the heart, which he shares with both Maurice, who didn't speak his language when they first met, and Jonah.

 Character Tics: Jonah loves twiddling things in front of his eyes, like a feather or a blade of grass. He also has a habit of jumping up and down when he's excited. Valentine, Ben's employee at Jewell's Catering Hire, has a habit of kissing his teeth, which he's passed on to his teenage son.
