Joshua is 7 years old and has Autism. Our son lived in his own world which seemed to trap him where he would spend hours screaming and banging his head. After his diagnosis he began speech therapy and occupational therapy as well as early intervention and eventually mainstreamed preschool where he had very involved teachers & therapists. Joshua wrote Jelly Pirates when he was six. The story was inspired by the Smuckers Jelly packets that sat on the table at the Kaffee Haus in Wooster, Ohio. It is a cute little tale of Jelly Pirates in search of honey treasure. Joshua hopes you like his book. We want you to know that any proceeds that he earns from his sharing his world with you will be used to help with his continued therapy and a portion will be placed in college fund as he has a desire to go to college.
