Hear the unheard voices that resonate with magnitude. Life in Letters tells the stories of young, nonspeaking individuals living with autism. As the sister of a nonspeaking autistic, Lia Assimakopoulos witnessed her brother William struggle with the communication barrier, which stymied their sibling relationship for years. After endless research and experimentation, it was a simple, laminated alphabet letterboard that opened up a new world of dialogue for them. By spelling his thoughts out letter by letter, William was able to finally express himself. His breakthrough inspired Assimakopoulos to seek out the stories of others who also spell as their primary form of communication. Using the experiences of other nonspeakers, she debates some of autism's most misunderstood yet important aspects, allowing the voices of each individual to shine through her writing. While autism presents various challenges each day, letterboards allow us to understand that autistics have a unique outlook on life and inspiring stories that deserve to be heard.
