Product Description:

Wendy Lawson has an autism spectrum disorder. Considered to be intellectually disabled and "almost incapable of doing as she is told" at school, she was later misdiagnosed as schizophrenic, a label that struck with her for more than 25 years. Her sense of self was then non-existent, but Wendy is now a mother of four with two university degrees. She is a social worker and adult educator, and operates her own business. She is also a poet and a writer, sharing her understanding of autism with others to help "build a bridge...from my world to others." Life Behind Glass is part of that bridge.
