Elijah's Cup
A Family's Journey into the Community and Cluture of
High-Functioning Autism and Asperger's Syndrome
by Valerie Paradiz Elijah had many seizures between the ages of two and three, and he was diagnosed epileptic before he was diagnosed autistic. After Valerie Paradiz(narrator) watched a movie of Temple Grandin with Elijah's babysitter Sharron, Sharron tells her that she thinks that she is also autistic. Soon after, Sharron leaves to find her autistic roots. She and the author keep in touch, and so Paradiz is launched into the subtitle.
Many parents of autistics and neurotypicals working with them find it difficult to accept that autistics could have a community. They are wrong.
Happy reading.
