Michael is a 25 year old young man with Autism who learned how to use Spelling to Communicate 18 months ago. He says he felt like he was living in a silent prison and was ready to end it all. His mother has a message to ASHA, the American Speech Hearing/Language Association because of their statement that is keeping S2C out of schools, "How DARE YOU! How dare they act as gatekeepers. Spelling has saved my son's life!" She realizes now that all the therapies that we do for kids with Autism like ABA and Speech Therapy, they have it all wrong. Autism is not an intellectual disability, it's Apraxia, a mind-body disconnect. Now that she has learned that she says "It all makes sense now."
