		Florance, a speech-language pathologist in Ohio, was holding her newborn son, Whitney, when she suspected something was wrong-he wasn't at all responsive.
		Florance and Whitney, now age 17, are together using their techniques to help other "maverick minds" (their term for people with high visual/associational thought processes and low verbal/sequencing processing) to function better in our verbally oriented world.
		Florance relates the inspiring story of her struggle to communicate with and nurture her seemingly developmentally disabled son.

	Untitled
		Florance is encouraged, however, by the complex series of cognitive skills--executive planning, sequencing, logic reasoning and hypothesis testing-it took Whitney to accomplish this.
		Florance, in order to devote as much time as possible to the mystery of Whitney's brain problems begins to alter her private practice towards highly visual patients with communication problems.
		Florance enters Whitney in a new school and is disappointed when the staff labels him "multihandicapped." However, one day, after playing guitar in his class, Florance is astounded to hear Whitney call out to her, "Dr. Florence!" This confirms that he recognizes his mother and connects with her.

		FLORANCE: We found the testing we did for aphasia and speech and language, and even for intelligence was different, and it didn’t necessarily correlate with how people function in a lab with a simulator.
		FLORANCE: I had personally worked in the newborn nursery on projects about how babies related to their moms at the moment of birth, and also my profession was getting interested in premature kids too, because there was a high likelihood of speech and hearing disorders in these children.
		FLORANCE: The number one difference is it relies on the power of the visual brain, which is completely non-verbal.

		The third child of Dr Florance, a renowned brain doctor and communication difficulties expert, was a deaf mute, insensitive to pain and indifferent to other people.
		For the next decade, Dr Florance struggled with her many roles - mother of a handicapped child, rational scientist, mother of two healthy children, unhappy wife, outcast scientist and overstressed single mother - in her battle to rescue her son, as her career, marriage and reputation fell to pieces.
		There were crises; on one occasion she woke to find Whitney pressing a knife to his brother's arm, and on another she was told that if she didn't institutionalize Whitney, the courts would take him away.

		A brain scientist and speech pathologist by profession, Florance was uniquely equipped to interpret oblique signals as she attempted to unravel the mysteries of a brain that seemed to be incorrectly wired.
		Dr. Florance's first-person narrative is awash in narcissism, grandiosity, name-dropping, smugness, and self-satisfaction.
		The writing is also clumsy and full of errors (Florance, or her collaborator, often use words incorrectly--"nonplussed", for example, to mean "unfazed"--its exact opposite).
