Born with Autism, Lucy could not understand much of what was said
around her. Her own language came later from newspapers and books.
She created stories and poems in her head from the words she had
read. As an adult she still barely speaks. In her teens she started
using a keyboard with someone touching her arm, but that was not a
substitute for ordinary speech. Lucy's language had developed in a
world of her own making in which she had never passed on
information to someone else. Even today she does not answer
questions in the same way as other people. Lucy's ambition was to
write a book. She went to High School. She wrote letters and
essays, learnt how to explain herself and began to create
characters in her stories. While writing she started to understand
her own autism, and through that understanding she came to type on
a computer with no physical support to complete her BA (Hons) in
Literary Studies. An essential resource for anyone interested in
autism, sensory issues, augmentative and alternative communication
(AAC), language and the practice of writing, Lucy's Story is also
an intriguing, poignant and exciting autobiography.
