My Words are My Voice: the (un) spoken words from individuals within the Autism community

Rich Specht

Non-speaking autistic individuals have written short stories, poems, profound feelings, philosophical views, and comments on current social events. None of which have been personally verbalized. You will be brought into the minds, hearts, and souls of some very talented, intelligent, creative and remarkable human beings known to be non-speaking. Our world becomes a better place when we all really listen to what's being said.
