If you had lived a quiet life of difference and distance, only to learn that it wasn’t long ago that people with similar traits were burned on a fire, drowned in lakes and hung from trees, the chances are you wouldn’t react well. However, I have just finished reading the debut novel by Elle McNicoll: ‘A Kind of Spark’ and, wowee, does it inspire you to advocate from the rooftops. Autism is not (and should not) be seen as predictable and, while we like to say that autism is a rewiring of the mind, it’s more accurate to say that autism is an alternative ignition a different fuel which fans our unique thoughts, ‘ A Kind of Spark’.įor first time readers of this site, I hope you’ll pardon these upfront assertions (I swear I don’t usually start like this). Autism doesn’t make our words lose meaning it gives them new life.
