he term Spectrum-Autist is how I describe one who is diagnosed with Autism-Spectrum Disorder. Since I do not think of Autism as a "disorder, I prefer "Spectrum-Autist." Being a Spectrum-Autist is to live in the in-between. In-between a typical person and a profound Autist. The in-between is a difficult place to be. People can see me both as normal and as strange. At first meeting me, there are not obvious signs and people often assume that I am like conventional humans. The more time they spend in conversation with me, however, that view can rapidly deteriorates, but they do not quite know why. They often recognize introversion, though I have been told by other introverts that I am "off the chart" introverted. For a while, "painfully introverted" suited me for a label. It is quite literally painful, to be among a group of people, expected to interact, and also to be alone, unable to be the person that I want to be. At times I thought that I would slip into deep autism, never to emerge. Meanwhile, I somehow got through school, college, graduate school, and a doctorate. I learned other languages as part of my educational requirements. Autistic people are not supposed to be good at language, right? It was only later that I discovered, with the help of a brilliant and compassionate psychologist, Doctor James Pallas, that I have (what was then called) Asperger's Syndrome. "What is that?", I asked. He first put it in simple terms. "You are a verbal-autistic." A verbal autist. Who knew? He took me through the diagnostic criteria, and it explained so much of my life, my behavior, and the way that I express myself.

Michal Maoz was born in Israel in 1972. Her father was killed in the Yom-Kippur War when she was nine months old. At the age of eighteen, Michal met her soul mate when she served in the Israeli air force, and married him soon thereafter. In 2000 Michal moved to the US with her family. Later on her two children were diagnosed with Aspergeras syndrome, and so was she. Since being diagnosed, Michal has felt that her calling is to help those on the Autistic Spectrum achieve independence, happiness, and understanding. She established her own company, Aurtistic-Spectrum, to help her achieve that goal by speaking out and using her multi-faceted artwork. Michal has been writing poetry most of her life, and she sees in this book her poetic autobiography, through which she opens the door to her inner world. Michal hopes to raise awareness of Autism Spectrum disorders by presenting her Aspieas (person with Aspergeras syndrome) point of view, feelings and thoughts.

Her own despair takes us into dark moments with her, but through it all is an unquenchable sense of love and joy. - Dr Valerie Volk

"The poetry is densely peopled, clamorous with voices, tender, furious and cut with an edge of hilarious clarity... the bravado, the assurance, of the beautiful-but-damned." – Sian Hughes, Poetry Review Animal People is the new collection by distinguished poet Carol Rumens. Often inspired by and infused with the weathers of various seasons of the year, many poems also feature a strong sense of place, whether it be the dramatic mountain rock-scapes of Snowdonia or the gritty streets of London and Hull. The key to the collection is the sequence 'On the Spectrum', which explores what it is to be 'on the autistic spectrum'. Drawing on personal and family experience, this poem is infused with the author's characteristic empathy, curiosity and humanity. There is a strong sense of commemoration in this collection, of time passing and of the challenges of mortality, and also a number of brilliant pieces that are influenced by translations or re-readings of classic works of literature.
