Miracle of Effort

Thalia's Autism Journey

By: John A. Fortunato Ph. D.

Miracle of Effort: Thalia’s Autism Journey is the story of Thalia being diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder when she was two years old and her journey to graduating college and becoming an elementary school teacher. Through Thalia’s journey, this book aspires to offer a sense of what children with autism and their families go through. The book takes the reader through the experiences, the emotions, the challenges confronted, the sacrifices demanded, and the decisions that needed to be made at different stages of a child’s life. Thalia’s family is at the center of this story. There were several critical decisions made by Thalia’s parents, Donnie and Lorena. They were confronted with a traumatic reality that required perspective and patience, while fighting through moments of despair and sadness. It was Donnie and Lorena’s determination that they would be part of the solution for their daughter that shaped Thalia’s journey. It is Donnie’s cousin, Lisa, who noticed Thalia’s autistic behavior symptoms and delivered her initial learning therapy sessions. Each child that is diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum will have a different experience with the disorder. No two situations are the same. The following is Thalia’s unique autism journey. Her Miracle of Effort. The book is intended to offer hope to the many families that are confronted with this disability. As Thalia says, “an autism diagnosis does not mean that a child cannot be successful. It just means that he or she will see the world in a different light.” Thalia’s simple hope is “to inspire autistic individuals to live up to their full potential and provide optimism to families.”

Saints' Lives and the Rhetoric of Gender

Male and Female in Merovingian Hagiography

By: John Kitchen

Medieval lives of female saints have attracted wide attention in recent years. Some scholars have argued that such texts reveal a distinctive form of female sanctity which only female hagiographers managed to properly articulate, and important writings have been attributed to female authors on that assumption. In this revisionist work, John Kitchen tests such claims through a close examination of several texts--lives of both male and female saints, by authors of both sexes--from sixth century France. He argues that sometimes the "authentic voice" of the female writer or saint sounds emphatically male. This study gives examples of how both male and female authors sometimes depicted holy women talking, acting, or even dressing like their male counterparts. Ultimately, the author aims to cast doubt on the assumption that male authors were ignorant of or hostile toward certain--specifically female--concerns. By the same token, Kitchen's work raises serious methodological problems with the gender approach to the hagiographic literature of the early Middle Ages.
