Speaking words
                     are burdensome;
                               they get her
                                        lost               and tangled,
                         So,              pen and ink
                                            are her first choice
                                                     to voice
                                                                what she’s not saying.

The opening words of Judy Endow’s latest book, Paper Words: Discovering and Living with My Autism, show how the author, a highly visual thinker, translates her thoughts into words. Thus, the unusual and irregular spacing between the words represents how long it takes for the pictures to fluidly move so as to connect smoothly with the next thought to form meaning. Soon the reader is swept up into a fast-paced journey of how Judy noticed her differences early on, how she discovered her autism, and how she embraces life autistically.
