"We think that we are truly free when we write about total because we are funny."
Calderism
ABOUT US
My name is Jack and this blog is dedicated to my little brother Calder. Calder is non-verbal autistic so he cannot communicate with people in a standard conversation. Even though he doesn’t have speech, Calder can express himself in many different ways, mainly by typing on his i-Pad. Calder also refers to himself with we instead of I. He’s shown me that he’s funny, stubborn, and wise. And he wants to be heard.
Through this blog, Calder and I get to connect, exchange ideas, and share insight into the world of autism. The autism spectrum is broad and varied. I’ve branded my brother’s as Calderism. He has a lot of funny phrases. Calder wants everyone to know “we are easy to love,” and that we need to respect his freedom to snack. He really likes cookies. Welcome!
