Paper Words: Discovering and Living with My Autism

by Judy Endow

In this intensely personal book, readers are swept up into a fast-paced journey of how author Judy Endow eventually discovered her autism and how, since then, she's embraced life autistically. From her troubled teenage years in a state institution where her coping behaviors were interpreted as defiant and oppositional, to her years in a Christian community where her behaviors were misunderstood, to a brief marriage and the birth of her three sons, Judy has emerged as a strong voice on the autism spectrum. This book reveals Endow's resilience, courage, hard work, and sheer willpower. Paper Discovering and Living With My Autism shows visually on the printed page how Endow, a highly visual thinker, translates her thoughts into words.
