Paper Words: Discovering and Living with My Autism
International Book Awards Finalist (2010)
by Judy Endow, MSW
“In this intensely personal book, readers are swept up
into a fast-paced journey of how author Judy Endow noticed her differences early
on, how she eventually discovered her autism and how she embraces 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. Beyond presenting a fascinating journey of resilience, courage,
hard work and sheer will power, Paper Words shows visually on the printed page
how Judy, a highly visual thinker, translates her thoughts into words.”
