About Our Guest:

Laura Hirsch was born and raised in Wisconsin and graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater with a Bachelor of Arts in Speech Communication. She is the author of numerous books, including The Other Side of Autism, Foundation of Discovery, and Widowed too Soon, and is a co-author and blogger for the popular autism organization, The Thinking Moms’ Revolution. Laura has been a health freedom activist for many years and was featured in the award-winning documentary Genetic Roulette about Genetically Modified foods. She is also a reformer pilates instructor and the proud mom of two incredible young men, Trevor and Damon. They live in the Reno, NV area.

Trevor Hirsch is Laura Hirsch’s older son and is now 25 years old. He was diagnosed with regressive autism at age three and is minimally speaking. He is finally having his voice heard because of Spelling 2 Communicate. He worked really hard for the past two and a half years and is now an open speller. Laura can ask him anything, and he spells out his thoughts on a letterboard. His journey over the past few years has been an absolute miracle. First, his musical talent, playing the piano and singing, became evident. Then, through Spelling 2 Communicate, his intelligence, thoughts, and feelings, and even his telepathic gifts that have been hidden all these years, came shining through. He is a musician, a horse whisperer, and a medium. He wants to share his story to inspire others.
