4.0 out of 5 stars An Autistic Life, July 11, 2002

zhivago (Nashua, NH USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lucy's Story: Autism and Other Adventures (Paperback)

This is the autobiography of Lucy Blackman, an amazing autistic
woman who has made remarkable progress in adjusting to the
world despite her autism. Facilitated communication and auditory
integration therapy play major roles. What I found particularly
valuable (but at times hard to understand) were the insights
she gained into her own difficulties when she saw changes as a
result of these therapies and techniques. This book is hard
to follow at times, but worth the effort for anyone trying to
understand autism.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lucy is an amazing woman., September 10, 2005

Donna Williams *) "Donna Williams *)" (Melbourne Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lucy's Story: Autism and Other Adventures (Paperback)

Lucy's book is wonderful, playful, highly intelligent and utterly tell it like it is. Her book introduces the reader not only to the little known world of facilitated communication (through typing) but also to her relationship with her colorful quirky family and her life in Australia. Having met Lucy many times, I know she is as much an inspiration to people through this book as she is to those who meet her.
