I frequently listen to NPR. Especially on Friday mornings because of StoryCorps.
StoryCorps is a project that “records the lives of everyday Americans.” They are incredible stories – usually family members interviewing other family members. These stories are being collected and archived by the Library of Congress. Some of them have been gathered into different anthologies and published. Some of them have been converted to DVDs. Some of them have been animated and posted here.
The story I’ve embedded below is particularly relevant to this project. Joshua Littman is a 12-year old boy with Asperger’s Syndrome. He is interviewing his mother. Although it’s Joshua asking the questions, the interview gives a fascinating look into the mind of an Aspy kid. Good stuff!
