Echolalia (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

What do a superhero, a pumpkin, and light switches have in common? They are all special interests of Jerome's brother Todd. Todd's autism is so severe that his speech is limited to echolalia -- the repetition of other people's words.

Jerome's dearest wish is to have a real conversation with his younger brother. Will Todd's echolalia be the first step in making his wish come true?

This e-book includes not only the short story "Echolalia," but also a bonus story. Jerome's Wedding, which takes place many years after the events in "Echolalia," is from Todd's point of view.

This is book two in the "Autism Chronicles" series.

Autorenporträt

Lynn Messing has loved language all her life. She studied four foreign languages in high school and went on to earn a doctorate in linguistics. It is therefore ironic that her son Andy, who is extremely severely affected by autism, has minimal expressive language skills.

Andy has probably taught Lynn as much about communication as all of her graduate school instructors combined, and he has definitely taught her more about patience and love.

In addition to raising Andy, Lynn also teaches computer networking and security at a nearby community college.
