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, Tito—whom Portia Iversen, co-founder of Cure Autism Now, has described as “a window into autism such as the world has never seen”—gives the world a beacon of hope. For if he can do it, why can’t others? “Brave, bold, and deeply felt, this book shows that much we might have believed about autism can be wrong.”—Boston Globe

Absolutely fascinating

This is an incredible piece of writing, explaining the complex thoughts of a child who could not talk. As he grows up you see how intelligent he is but his sensory difficulties trip him up ... and he still can’t talk.

An important Autistic written book.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 May 2018

Beautifully written and a really personal account of being autistic. I feel it is especially important as the writer is nonverbal and part of the book addresses the acquisition of language and using it to communicate in a nonverbal way. So very important. I hope with the Internet, the visibility of nonverbal autistic people will become larger and larger. We need more people all over the Autism spectrum with all the added difficulties that Autism can bring and all the comorbid conditions that often occur, to talk about themselves, their lives etc. Autistic people need to be foremost in their lives, in the public voice on Autism. This book is a wonderful part of that.
