Overview

Travis shares how he sees bears other people do not see. Travis sees and hears the bears talking to him and other people thinks that he is crazy. Travis shares that the bears tell him that his friends and coworkers are out to get him and he shares how that makes it extremely difficult to go to work. Travis shares of his cats Milky and Fluffy that are there to keep him safe and fight the bears. The bears follow Travis every where he goes. Travis shares how he used to enjoy doing things but has a difficult time just enjoying the simple things in life anymore because the bears are always in his life trying to ruin it by telling him he is a fake person because he has autism. Sometimes the bears tell Travis to punish himself through self-harm. The bears are very loud and they fight off the cats who are good and trying to protect Travis. Travis shares what it is like to live with schizophrenia, voices, hallucinations (both visual and audio) and delusions in this great book that is a fast paced true story about a man living with Schizophrenia. Here is an excerpt from this book. It is so hard for me because the bears go everywhere I go. Sometimes there are certain friends of mine who can keep the bears away and make them not want me to hurt myself but there are very few people who can actually make the bears disappear and go away. Whenever I am alone the bears will come out and they will try talking to me and telling me bad things about myself. I also have two cats named Fluffy and Milky which my family and friends say are not real. Why do I see all of these animals and interact with them when they are not real to other people? I sometimes wonder if I am real to other people because it feels like I am living in a completely different world than they are. I sometimes feed Milky and Fluffy but the bears are very mean to them and the cats will not even attempt to come out if the bears are there. The cats are very much afraid of the bears but the cats always say good things about me and they tell me that I should not hurt myself because I am a good person. Milky and Fluffy the cat always tell me that I am a good person and I should not listen to the bears. Why can't Milky and Fluffy be around more often? Why do Milky and Fluffy run away from the bears? We hope you enjoy Travis book and it teaches you about Schizophrenia.

Author Information

I'm Travis. I'm a 30 year old author of books about autism. I like football, basketball, tennis, hiking, music, rock, writing, reading, and talking. I have overcome the greatest challenge in my life. I no longer cope with autism I live happily with it. I have some really amazing friends and a truly inspirational and awesome best friend! Life had always been a struggle for me until I started taking responsibility for my own life and situation. I spent a long time wanting and expecting others to fix or improve my life and make it what I wanted it to be. Truth be known, I was the only one who could and can do that. Now I write books about autism and how I am taking responsibility for my own life. What a difference I've seen in life. Life is what we choose to make of it. I don't want to just be known as a guy with Autism. I want to be known as a guy who's doing something awesome with Autism Travis is dually diagnosed with Autism and Schizophrenia
