Way to go Dillan!
I am an autistic guy with a message. I spent the first half of my life completely trapped in silence. The second – on becoming a free soul. I had to fight to get an education but I succeeded, graduating high school with a diploma and a 3.9 GPA. I am continuing my education in college. I communicate by typing on an iPad or a letter board. My first book, Ido inAutismland is an autism diary, telling the story of my symptoms, education, and journey into communication. My second book, In Two Worlds, is a novel. I hope through my work to help other autistic people find a way out of their silence too.
My newest book is now available in paperback, on Kindle, and on Smashwords!
My first book is available in paperback, Nook, Kindle, and iBook editions!

Pingback: Dillan’s Voice — Ido in Autismland | autism life site
I hope someday we can find my son’s voice. I want to buy numerous copies of Ido’s book and give it to everyone I know. Ido is an amazing inspiration to people like Dillan find their voice.
Thanx for all you do.

Parent of a son with Autism and Down Syndrome.
This is an amazing young man who is a pleasure to have in my class.
I was so inspired by this recent video and the ability for those trapped in the autistic world to communicate. I thought you might be interested in this video where 2 doctors share about their daughter born with severe autism and how it was turned around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUlawLKMZiY Feel free to contact me via email if you would like to meet others who have had the same experience. Blessings to you!
What device is this? I have autistic son would like to this for
He uses the Proloquo4text and assistive express apps. Keeble is an app that makes keyboard better visually. Check out http://www.halo-soma.org to learn about RPM, the technique that taught me, Dillan and Sam to type.
I understand not being able to communicate is hellish. (Nor is it fun how people treat you when you cannot speak, I know too well.) Autism is not always the reason one cannot communicate, though, and while I acknowledge it “isn’t all unicorn farts and rainbows” to borrow a phrase….it bothers me to hear people call autism “hellish” because it only fuels the rhetoric of those who want to make sure autistics cease to exist.
His experience is that autism is hellish at times. That doesn’t negate his life’s importance.
