Author of Strange Son Ido is a brilliant communicator. - Portia Iversen, Co-founder, Cure Autism Now and the Autism Genetic Resource Exchange Gene Bank.
Reading Ido\'s book is a good beginning.
We need to help change things for this terribly neglected group...
And yet, precisely because they cannot communicate, nonverbal individuals with autism are nearly always consigned to the junk heap of mental deficiency, branded as incapable of understanding language or even having feelings...
PRAISE FOR Ido in Autismland There are doubtless many Idos in this world, unable to speak, yet possessing good intellectual ability and, most certainly, a rich emotional life.
Of importance to neuro-researchers, educators, psychologists, doctors, parents, friends, family and people with autism, Ido in Autismland will change our collective understanding of severe autism.
These individuals desperately need new theories and new methods to help them break free too.
He wants people to see that thousands of other severely autistic individuals have the same capacity, but remain trapped and locked-in, as he was, unable to show their true capacities.
He does not want to be seen as an isolated autistic exception with miraculously advanced cognitive and communication abilities.
But Ido has a larger goal.
Through the use of a letter board, and now an iPad, Ido has triumphed communicatively, enabling him to flourish in a regular high school in all general education classes.
This led to the quest to find a system of communication that he could use despite his impaired motor control.
But at the age of seven, Ido was finally able to show that he had an intact mind and could understand.
Ido spent the first half of his life locked internally, in silence, trapped in a remedial educational system that presumed he lacked the most basic comprehension, and unable to show the world that he understood everything.
In his pithy essays, author Ido Kedar, a brilliant sixteen year old with autism, challenges what he believes are misconceptions in many theories that dominate autism treatment today while he simultaneously chronicles his personal growth in his struggles to overcome his limitations.
