Yes, it's Poetry! - But Why?
I knew this would be my last time in therapy. I couldn't go through this again. Things had to change and I needed help.
With such a small window of opportunity, I had to find a way to condense a lifetime of experiences into meaningful, relatable stories, which would suggest to my therapists that there might be more to this gibbering idiot than meets the eye.
Poetry became the voice I never had.
The poems in this book give an intimate glimpse into aspects and consequences of an autistic life.
Although, in some, you might just recognise yourself.
The print version contains 4 additional photo-poems.Also in
