My nephew John Smyth is 23 years old, lives in Indiana with his parents, and has had major communication issues his entire life due to Autism. More recently, he has been communicating through ‘facilitation’, a method that allows caregivers to assist in improving communication methods with those who find it challenging to communicate on their own.
You can visit his website and hear the spoken poem he created using this technique, and soon, he will be publishing a book to carry forward some of his innermost thoughts.
