Item Description
Born in Germany in 1973, Birger Sellin was a happy and outgoing child who learned to speak unusually early. Shortly before turning two, however, he suddenly grew terrified at the sight of other children and inexplicably stopped talking. His parents, struggling to cope with his increasingly bizarre and unruly behavior, watched helplessly as their beloved child retreated into a dark and lonely world. He spent the next sixteen years in silent isolation. In a time before today's understanding of autism, somehow, at the age of 18 he began to type with an assist. To his parent's amazement, Sellin had taught himself to read and now he was able to express himself. This book is Sellin's self expression.
