Leah Avital lives in Israel with her family - including her four remarkable autistic children, who have been her most important teachers. She has spent many years working as a classroom teacher, watching autistic students struggle not because they lacked intelligence or effort, but because the systems around them weren't designed with their minds in mind. She became a consultant in child-parent relationships to help families build genuine bridges of understanding - not just between parents and children, but between radically different ways of experiencing the world.
