John Is Me is a biography of our son John, a gentle person who, in his own way, has taught lessons for a lifetime. He was born cognitively disabled and, in his fifty-nine years, has not spoken a single word.

Throughout John’s story, his imagined words and speculated thoughts are gently positioned with a commitment to credibility. In order to tap into his silent voice, the mother, father, and son embark together with John’s sounds invented through an intimate engagement–a collaborative and symbiotic adventure into a complex and labyrinthine mind. There is no doubt that John Is Me commands great attention and embodies a practical message about the subject of autism and the fiber of a family working to create a safe and peaceful environment for all of its members.
