Wendy Lawson has an autism spectrum disorder. Considered to be intellectually disabled and ''almost incapable of doing as she is told'' at school, she was later misdiagnosed as schizophrenic - a label that stuck with her for more than 25 years.

Her sense of self was then non-existent, but Wendy is now a mother of four with two university degrees; she is a social worker and adult educator, and operates her own business. She is also a poet and a writer, sharing her understanding of autism with others to help ''build a bridge from my world to theirs''. Life Behind Glass is part of that bridge.
