Spectra Chronicles is, at heart, the story of Huxley — an eight-year-old autistic boy who becomes the hero not in spite of his autism, but precisely because of it.
We tell the story out of personal passion. Both of us, artist and writer, have autistic sons we’ve come to see as archetypal superheroes: people with unique abilities that allow them to do what others cannot, but which also make it hard for them to live so-called “normal” lives.
Our goals with Spectra Chronicles are straightforward. First, we want to tell a great story people will love in its own right. Along the way, we want to give autistic kids and their families heroes they can truly relate to. Finally, we hope to help everyone see autistic kids the way we see them — as people with incredible gifts and abilities who struggle to live in a world of mere mortals.
