Book Lecture - "Yes I Can!" The Story of Jim Wyllie, A Person with
Autism
Jim Willie was born in Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan
in 1968. He was diagnosed with autism when he was 6 years old. Jim
turned 40 on March 31, 2008. This book describes how the Wyllie family
was able to save Jim from a life-long sentence to a mental institution.
It was written to help families learn to live with autism, to know the
costs, the constant work involved, to appreciate small successes, and to
feel the stupendous joy that comes with large ones.
The book was written by Robert S. Wyllie, Jim's dad, and published by
his uncle, Marcus Ferrelli, Principal of Exeter Associates in Rhode
Island.
"Yes I Can!" is a compelling account of a remarkable young man with
autism and is an amazing story of achievements seldom, if ever, equaled.
Marcus Ferrelli will be at the Warwick Museum of Art, 3259 Post Road,
Warwick on Friday, July 25th from 7 to 9 pm to talk about his nephew.
There will be copies of "Yes I Can!" signed by the author for sale at
that time.
The evening is sponsored by Carol's Country Corner, the Warwick Museum
of Art, the Apponaug Area Improvement Association and the Kent County
Arc of the J. Arthur Trudeau Memorial Center.
The evening is free to the public Refreshments will be provided and
served by clients of Kent County Arc Worksite Partners Program.

Our calendar of events can be found on http://warwickmuseum.org and click on Calendar of Events. The gallery and office may be closed during the day if special evening events are scheduled (such as a community meeting, classes, artist receptions, etc.) It is suggested that you call the Warwick Museum of Art to ensure the gallery is open.
