Spencer's New Home

Bradley E. Clift

The Hartford Courant

Who Are You?--'Who are you?' Spencer asks his reflection in the bay windows of his new group home house. 'Autistic children are often facinated with their own shadows and reflections,' says Spencer's case worker Gloria Smith. 'They are trying to discover who they see in the reflection.' After a shower, Spencer discovered the reflection and spent several minutes playing and dancing with his own image.
