TALK TO ME

Talk to Me is the powerful story of one mother's determination to bring her son out of his prison of silence into a more joyous world of communicating with others. When he was four years old, Jamie was diagnosed with severe speech and language problems related to his autism. When he was ten, Heather began to demand true conversations from him and over the years he responded beyond her expectations. His frustration and anger dissipated and his real soul emerged. Now he is 25 and enjoying work, driving and financial freedom.

Heather brings a wealth of experience and understanding of her son who, like many

others, lacks the skills (though not the interest) to talk with us.
