About the Author

The author is a poet and writer of short stories who is currently working on a literary collage of both to be her next printed offering. She is the mother of an autistic child who, as a strong advocate for autistic inclusion, has made it her mission to break down the stereotypes and stigma attached to autism. Through her work she hopes to bridge the gap of understanding for the typical world so that they can better understand, accept and assimilate people like Joshua into main-stream society. Working diligently to strip away labels of disability to reveal the person underneath, she hopes in the future to offer more work that examines and demystifies barriers between people with and without disabilities. She currently lives in Springfield, MA with her husband, two sons, two cats, a dog and assorted under attended plants.
