At the age of three Woody was diagnosed with autism. As he developed he seemed to have a unique way of viewing the world and expressing himself. So Woody’s dad began creating linocut carvings of some of his original phrases as a way of holding on to Woody’s touching words.
The creative process gave Woody and his dad a chance to connect as they worked on the designs. And it gave Woody a newfound confidence - he sometimes struggled at school and found handwriting particularly challenging, but suddenly his words became important. People wanted to hang them on their walls. In his words, Woody says; “I’m famous! I’m the author!”
