Carly's Voice

Carly's Voice: Breaking Through Autism by Arthur Fleischmann
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Carly's Voice is an amazing account of Carly Fleischmann's early life. Carly has Autism, and is non-verbal. The book provides an inside view of the incredible love, courage, determination, and hard work required of the parents, siblings, teachers and therapists to provide a healthy and successful environment for a child and teen with ASD. Carly's story is told by her father in a style that feels much like his diary of life with Carly. The transparency and honesty in telling the story provides a view into the immense dedication and love required to raise a child with Autism. The title speaks of Carly learning to express her internal voice to others by typing on a computer or smart device. The internet based services of e-mail, instant messaging, Twitter, and Facebook were among the technologies that allowed Carly to speak to others, including her immediate family. This story gives helpful insight into the life of a family with a child with Autism. Carly's internet presence can be found on Twitter, Facebook and her blog.
