Tyler's journey
I know what it's like to be trapped inside myself.
I communicated with a series of frustrated noises and physically "acting out". I started forming words at age 6; I was not able to speak in full sentences until I was 12.
I've been called a retard, dumb, and disabled. I've been bullied, picked on, and made fun of. They put me in "special" classes and told me that I should not expect to reach my goals.
I've chosen to accept my label of autism, not as a disability, but as an extraordinary ability.
I wrote my book so that those without autism could understand how my autistic mind works. I would like to give you a front row seat to my life, mind, and my special way of looking at the world.
I stand for those who do not have a literal voice. If you would like to understand autism, from someone that has it, please buy my book.
