Autism Speaks but I Spoke Back!

Imagine the chances of having children being diminished or slim to none, yet the joy of knowing a miraculous conception has taken place within the womb. Not just one child, but two. The joy that filled a mother's heart as she prepared for a life with fraternal twins was unspeakable. She planned and forecasted the many stages of their lives, and nine months into those plans, there was a drastic interruption. The face of the unfamiliar began to cover her daughter. The voice that she anticipated uttering so many words was now silenced and cries filled the air. How do you deal with the feelings of your very first pregnancy with two children turning totally upside down? What do you do when your biggest fear is looking you in the eye? Why did this have to happen? Who is this child? Does she even know that I exist? The very thing a mother desired to help other families with is now a reality in her own life. The smiling faces and kind words that the outside world gave when they saw the bundles of joy was so temporal without knowing the real war that this family faced. Autism attempted to silence this child, but this testimony uncovers the spiritual strategy that God gave a mother to help conquer the battle. Autism does speak, but this mother chose to speak back.

God instructed me to write the story long before I ever saw healing manifest. The book, "The Art of the Spectrum" will reveal the spiritual strategy that God gave me to cope through the process until she was completely healed. There is also a special section inspired by Maddix for other children dealing with symptoms of autism called The "Princess Diaries".

The Art of the Spectrum is currently in the layout phase and cover development. Any funds invested into this project will assist with marketing coordination, branding, educational materials, and Maddix's personal accommodations for future events and engagements.

Autism is not a silent killer. It is a silencer waiting to be challenged by "spoken" faith. The spoken word of God and faith is all it takes. Please help me tell the story! God Bless all that are willing to contribute.
