Autism - The Boy in the Window

Barbara Coppo takes the reader on an emotional journey through her life with an adult son who suffers from autism.

Kenny suffers from brain damage, seizures, and a condition called autism. Professionals encouraged institutionalization for Kenny and said that his autism would only worsen with time. They warned the likelihood of non-verbal, autistic individuals to improve socially or any other way was discouragingly remote.

Not believing her son was without intelligence, in spite of his agressive and intolerable behaviors, Barbara searched endlessly for therapies, hoping her son would improve.

Through facilitated communication, at the age of 17, Kenny revealed a wonderful gift showing his mom, and the world, that he is an intelligent person who not only knows what's happening in his surroundings, but he can also see far beyond you and me.
