In Other Words

A shift in the nature of light reveals an eighth colour in the\r\nvisible spectrum. A boy befriends the last tree in the natural world. A single\r\nmother finds help at the darkest point of her life. A young man finds himself\r\ntrapped in a university overrun by crows.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThese stories and more form In Other Words, an anthology as\r\ndiverse as the writers themselves. Some cover trauma, societal issues and\r\nstigma; others offer fragments of hope and light. Some reach back in time while\r\nothers transport us to another dimension altogether. There is heartbreak, wit,\r\nhumour, poignancy and above all a mastery of the imagination.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhat these transcendent stories share is that they were created\r\nby autistic writers, people often dismissed as unimaginative or incapable of\r\ncreativity - a myth that has persisted for generations. This collection hopes\r\nto shatter those stereotypes, those misconceptions and misunderstandings, and the\r\nperception that one must be neurotypical to be afforded a voice in the arts.
