Stories of a Caged Girl

Trix Joyce

Casa editrice: BookRix

Sinossi

She was different, and not in the way anyone in the little village could understand. She was the sunshine everyone tried to cover up, the gemstone who was too rough to be loved. The girl nobody wanted near. Except him. The first person to take her in, the first person to abuse and use her, and one of the hundred people guilty of making her condition worse.
This is the story of one autistic child who became an autistic teenager, and then finally an autistic adult. It’s a dark story as well as a story of hope. A story of anger and grief as well as love and compassion. This is her story and she won’t let anyone tell her she can’t express herself anymore. This is the story of one forgotten child who refuses to be silenced anymore.
In this book, I share thirteen memoirs and thirteen poems, all related to dealing with trauma. Here I also want to put a content warning: this book includes themes of ableism, child abuse, domestic violence, rape, suicidal ideation, and other similar, dark topics. I suggest you read with caution and although these are important things to talk about, I know this warning needs to be here.
I'm Trix Joyce, an author and blogger based in Sweden. This is my first English collection of personal essays and poetry. I have been using different names in my Swedish work, though always had a poetic and reflective style of writing according to other people. I write books in the categories of philosophy, poetry, personal essays, and other nonfiction, but also fictional novels and collections of short stories and mainly mystery and fantasy when these come alive!

‘’A delightful and relatable family story including happy moments and challenges. Rob Lamp’s struggles with infertility, survival from cancer and a successful career navigation after a mid-life crisis are inspirational. Many life lessons for any individual or family.” — Lily Bengfort, Guided Autobiography Instructor
“Rob paints a clear and detailed picture of his life, the forces that shaped it, and the joys and travails that enriched it. While it is a story well-told, with rich language and original music to introduce readers to the many characters, Marsha and I can attest to its accuracy. Like the many tiles that create a strong and dramatic mosaic, Rob’s autobiography enhances the rich texture of our larger Lamp family story.” — Marsha Lamp Cochran and Jan Lamp Gehler, Rob Lamp’s Sisters

Fearlessly Different - An...

Mickey Rowe

Growing up, Mickey Rowe was told that he couldn’t enter the mainstream world.  
 
He was iced out by classmates and colleagues, infantilized by well-meaning theatre directors, barred from even earning a minimum wage. Why? Because he is autistic.  
 
Fearlessly Different: An Autistic Actor’s Journey to Broadway’s Biggest Stage is Mickey Rowe’s inspiring story. As an autistic and legally blind person, it was always made clear to Mickey the many things he was apparently incapable of  
doing. But Mickey did them all anyway—and he succeeded because of, not in spite of, his autism. He became the first autistic actor to play the lead role in the play The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, landed the title role in the  
play Amadeus, cocreated the theatre/philanthropy company Arts on the Waterfront, and founded the National Disability Theatre. Mickey faced untold obstacles along the way, but his story ends in triumph.  
 
Many people feel they are locked out of the world of autism—that it’s impossible to even begin to understand. In Fearlessly Different, Mickey guides readers to that world while also helping those with autism to feel seen and understood. And he  
shows all people—autistic and nonautistic alike—that the things that make us different are often our biggest strengths.
