   Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.   ) ncnsstnt | Apr 10, 2011 |  Then, I forgot about it. Fast forward a few months, once again the spine catches my eye. This time, instead of filing it away and potentially forgetting about it again, I nabbed it. And oh, how glad I am I did. The Mind Tree might be on of the most inspiring books I've ever had the pleasure of reading. It is written by Tito Rajarshi Mukhopadhyay, a young man who was diagnosed with severe non-verbal autism when he was a boy. There is little hope for a child diagnosed with this devastating disorder, lacking the ability to speak or even communicate in any way. It is a life-altering realization for a parent. But Tito and his mother fought it. Determined to help her son lead as normal a life as possible, Soma fervently worked with her son in hopes of breaking the entanglements on his incarcerated mind. Astonishingly, she discovered he understood numbers and, with time, letters. With letters came words, and with words came communication. She always knew her son was aware despite the doctors' opinions, and with dedication, hard work, and love she unearthed the son she knew was there all along. Today, Tito still lives in his colorful autistic world, but from this topsy-turvy place he speaks to us with the written word. This is his book, written by this wondrous young man, and it is nothing short of phenomenal. It is a look an autistic child's mind, and I think it will drastically change people's opinions of this 'disorder.' It is truly a magnificent book. The subtitle refers to Tito as 'miraculous,' and I can't think of a better way to describe him, and his book. The Mind Tree is inspiring, insightful, and enlightening, and I think everyone would benefit from reading it. Please, go find a copy.

Well-received on initial publication, The Mind Tree is truly an enthralling read. Although he is severely autistic and nearly nonverbal, Tito's ability to communicate through his extraordinary writing is astonishing. At the age of three, Tito was diagnosed with severe autism. But his mother, with boundless hope and determination, read to him and taught him to write in English. She also challenged him to write his own stories. The result of their efforts is this remarkable book--written when he was eight to eleven years old--comprised of profound and startling philosophical prose and poetry. During a New York Times interview, Tito scrawled on a yellow pad, "I need to write . . . It has become a part of me." No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
