Autism

Within Health and Safety

Still image from: Adventures of T-Man

Salem, a 13 year old boy with Asperger's syndrome, is dressed in a black leotard and stands in a graceful ballet pose. We can see his reflection in the mirror behind him. He looks up and has a smile on his face.

Two boys face each other, one pointing to the other with lips parted in mid-speech. Ladybug hangs on wall with peeling paint behind them.

Illustrated story excerpt shows a toy soldier holding a drum falls forward and curls into a ball. Text reads, “Unbearably slow, and all too quickly, I deflate to the cool February pavement—a melted snowman of fabric. I watch as he uses my outlet to plug in a tool with a slithery black cord hanging from its end. After two years of standing tall, striking my drum with almost no notice or appreciation, the show is over.”

Illustration portrays a directional sign with three arrows saying, “Autism Goes to College.”
