Behind the Pictures

By my own definition, "Autism is where the 'randomness of life,' collides and clashes with an individual's need for sameness."The conflict of two cultures living side by side in the same household created a struggle to gain control over of the environment, the ensuing chaos deconstructed our family unit. There was so much more to the story of The Girl Who Spoke With Pictures, that I needed to write a companion book to more fully complete the setting of our family, our journey of autism and the strategies that we used for change.
