I am an autistic guy with a message. I spent the first half of my life completely trapped in silence. The second - on becoming a free soul. I had to fight to get an education. Now I am a regular education student. I communicate by typing on an iPad or a letter board. My book, "Ido in Autismland" is now available on Amazon. It is an autism diary, telling the story of my symptoms, education, and journey into communication. I hope to help other autistic people find a way out of their silence too.

The World of Autism
The truth is it must be awful to have autism in some parts of the world. I don't forget my good luck in that if I had to have autism it was in the U.S. I am well aware how my life could have been in a lot of other lands. Since even here people confuse not speaking with retardation, I can only imagine how tough it would be to have no one have time, resources, or social support to help. Then I guess it's a life of stagnation in an institution or worse. Now I see my blog gets world viewers which is pretty cool. I don't know how autistic people are treated in these countries. I do hope that my words help in starting to make a new way to hear what autism is for many of us.
