Love to hear it 🙏💚

When Woody Brown was diagnosed with autism as a toddler, doctors told his parents it was pointless to even speak to him. They said he would never understand language.

They were wrong.

Around age 5, his mother Mary noticed he understood far more than anyone realised. He started spelling simple words on a laminated letter card. By 8, she discovered he’d been spelling out entire stories for an alter ego he’d created, “Cop Woody,” with plots pulled straight from real news headlines.

“That’s how Mom figured out I was listening to everything,” Woody shared, tapping it out on his letter board as Mary spoke his words aloud.

Woody went on to graduate from UCLA, earn a master’s in creative writing from Columbia, and publish his debut novel, Upward Bound, a story set in an adult day center for people with disabilities. He called learning to spell “a miraculous discovery.” 💙
