In this international bestseller, father and advocate for Autism awareness Arthur Fleischmann blends his daughter Carly’s own words with his story of getting to know his remarkable daughter—after years of believing that she was unable to understand or communicate with him.
At the age of two, Carly Fleischmann was diagnosed with severe autism and an oral motor condition that prevented her from speaking. Doctors predicted that she would never intellectually develop beyond the abilities of a small child. Carly remained largely unreachable through the years. Then, at the age of ten, she had a breakthrough.
While working with her devoted therapists, Carly reached over to their laptop and typed “HELP TEETH HURT,” much to everyone’s astonishment. Although Carly still struggles with all the symptoms of autism, she now has regular, witty, and profound conversations on the computer with her family and her many thousands of supporters online.
One of the first books to explore firsthand the challenges of living with autism, Carly’s Voice brings readers inside a once-secret world in the company of an inspiring young woman who has found her voice and her mission

Carly's Voice: Breaking Through Autism Reviews
-
Descobri este livro quando li a Temple Grandin e estava na minha lista desde então. Gostei muito de conhecer a história da Carly. E gosto muito de como ela se tornou porta-voz do autismo, desmistificando algumas visões errôneas ou desconhecimentos sobre o assunto. Fiquei emocionada em vários momentos da narrativa. Que pessoa incrível ela é. Vale muito a leitura. Aprendi muito sobre autismo e acho que a mensagem que ela passa de não subestimar pessoas neurodivergentes é extremamente importante.
