Tracy Thresher and Larry Bissonnette are two men with autism who have limited speech but a whole lot to say. As young people, both faced lives of isolation, unable to convey their inner intelligence. It was not until adulthood when each learned to communicate by typing -- giving them a way to express their thoughts, needs and feelings -- that their lives changed dramatically. After more than ten years of advocating for people with autism, they felt it was time to take their message global -- to help people with autism in other countries around the world break through the isolation they both knew so well.
