I LOVE LOVE LOVE Carly’ Voice. Her website is here: http://carlysvoice.com
She is about 18 now, and totally amazing. The book was co-written by her father, and is hands down the best book I’ve read about a family’s trials and tribulations of living with severe autism. I cam away from it utterly convinced that there is a “real” person inside of every child with autism, and we have only to figure out how to let that person out.

another book written by a 13 yr old that i read and found insightful is “Freaks, Geeks and Asperger Syndrome”- a User Guide to Adolescence by Luke Jackson

The book blew me away, too. I think that no matter where your loved one falls on the spectrum, much insight can be gained.

My cousin told me about this book! I’ve heard great things about it and it’s on my list to read! So glad you found comfort and hope in the book into a glimpse of what the first person is thinking. Can’t wait to read it!

Another book written by an autistic girl is called “Carlie’s Voice” by Carlie Fleishman. Definitely worth the read and answers questions too. She is severely autistic and can not speak. Her breakthrough came when she was able to learn how to communicate with a computer.
