Description
Carly's Voice Breaking Through Autism by Arthur Fleischmann is a heart-wrenching and inspiring memoir about a young girl's journey with autism. At just two years old, Carly was diagnosed with severe autism and an oral motor condition that left her unable to speak. Despite the predictions of doctors, Carly's life took a dramatic turn at the age of ten when she suddenly gained the ability to communicate through typing on a computer. This remarkable story follows Carly's transformation from a largely unreachable child to a young woman who has found her voice and is now sharing her experiences with the world. With the help of her devoted therapists, Carly has developed a witty and profound online presence that has captivated thousands of people around the globe. Through Carly's Voice, Arthur Fleischmann shares his daughter's story in a way that offers a unique insight into the challenges of living with autism. This book is an important exploration of what it means to be autistic and how individuals can find their own voice and purpose despite the obstacles they face.
