Phone-Mod.pdf
Phone ModificationThis is the "infamous" phone modification from page 58-59 of "Light on the Horizon", except this is the way is it is *supposed* to look. This is a schematic to place a user-adjustable volume control onto the receiver of a phone, thereby allowing those with auditory hypersensitivities to be more comfortable. Note this was done in the early 1990's and phones are much different these days. This schematic may be old and outdated, and of no interest other than historical.Jun 25, 2007

Autistic Writer Finds Voice, Delivers Message of HopeFrom: Chicago Tribune - 07/28/94

His first interview. If you are going to start somewhere, the Tribune is a good place to start. This was very early in his career. and so, just as with the Gleaner interview above, it is obvious that Thomas had not yet figured out exactly what he was doing.

Man Sees Life in Picasso-VisionFrom: Bedford Bulletin - 02/06/02

This appeared in the newspaper of Bedford, VA, shortly after his appearance on Oprah. He just *loves* the way this guy writes. He uses words like "Boisterous" and "Dreadful" and the Thomas favorite in the article, "Disconcerting Adventure." He can interview Thomas again any day. :)
