I heard your interview with Peter Zosky on CBC radio a few months ago, really amazing. My sister studies autism, so I know a little about it, now I know alot more.
I love your art . It is so stunning. You are so talented. Your art is simply amazing!I have read your book and and it was very interesting . You are a huge encouragement to us who have children with autism. I now always treat him like he understands every word I say. And I am always talking,talking ,talking.
but do also remember to leave silent space which is where people get a chance to dare speak in their own space, allowing others to listen. When others spoke I'd go into all other, no self, so it was very hard to listen to others and experience my own thoughts... silent space is just as important so one can find self even if it means going offline re other. multitracking with self AND other takes years but is sometimes possible.
IN MY opinion autism is not a disease its mispelled its really Artism i mean think about it its another way of communicating maybe A"u"RTISTIC people dont want to communicate in languages that r manipulated to mean wathever u want it to mean maybe thats why A"u"RTISIC people find other ways to communicate, have different views i mean isnt that what makes art art jesues its not a disease everything is a disease maybe if people would stop and think for a min and use both sides of ur brain
there ar emany reasons people with various autismS don't have functional speech. Some include speech aphasia, oral dyspraxia, selective mutism, semantic pragmatic language disorder and verbal agnosia. Certainly the more artistic one is, the more likely it may be one thinks in things like music and movement and touch more than words. any weaknes carries an inherent strength and vice versa. And the two could co-exist without over demonising or glorifying either.
