In the summer, he would sit in the garden for hours sifting dirt through his delicate fingers. But this night the ground was frozen. Michaels hands were almost frostbitten. We must put a lock on his bedroom door.Words Born of Silence: Unexpected Gifts of Autism is a powerful story of one womans challenging journey with an autistic son.
