Publisher Description
Can’t Read, Can’t Write, Here’s My Book is told through the eyes of Michael Jacques, a compassionate and determined young adult with autism and an intellectual disability. His book—which is written by using an iPad’s speech-to-text function—is a down-to-earth collection of compelling life stories and discoveries that teach us how to embrace and celebrate our differences. Michael, who never surrenders to the idea of “can’t,” speaks about topics such as learning, inclusion, advocating, independence, and the power of perseverance.
His insights and views on the world are equal parts heartbreaking and inspiring. Through his witty and positive voice, Michael offers a glimpse on what it’s like to be him.

Customer Reviews
What a pleasure to read - it’s what you CAN do that counts
As parents of a now adult Special Olympics son with autism, we relived Michael's journey of successes and not-so-successes. We even had our own Memere & Pepere. Michael, his family, and friends focus on his inspiration and family support to develop the ablities that he is blessed with. It is refreshing to see corporate bodies like Sobey’s go above and beyond to see the strength and commitment in people with intellectual disabilities. ❤️
