by Tito Rajarshi Mukhopadhyay
EPUB
Description
An astounding new work by the author of The Mind Tree that offers a rare insight into the autistic mind and how it thinks, sees, and reacts to the world.
When he was three years old, Tito was diagnosed as severely autistic, but his remarkable mother, Soma, determined that he would overcome the problem by teaching him to read and write.
The result was that between the ages of eight and eleven he wrote stories and poems of exquisite beauty, which Dr. Oliver Sacks called amazing and shocking. Their eloquence gave lie to all our assumptions about autism.
Here Tito goes even further and writes of how the autistic mind works, how it views the outside world and the normal people he deals with daily, how he tells his stories to the mirror and hears stories back, how sounds become colors, how beauty fills his mind and heart.
With this work, Titowhom Portia Iversen, co-founder of Cure Autism Now, has described as a window into autism such as the world has never seengives the world a beacon of hope.
For if he can do it, why cant others? Brave, bold, and deeply felt, this book shows that much we might have believed about autism can be wrong.Boston Globe
