Opening the Vault: a Personal Journey Through Autism & Schizophrenia

Opening the Vault is a deeply personal story about the possibility of cure through love and acceptance. As an intense, detailed journal of one family's venture into the realm of psychosis, it is a true story of everyday life brought to an abrupt end when the author's youngest son, Michael, suffers a catatonic breakdown and is diagnosed with autism and schizophrenia. The ensuing crisis scattered family and friends, but also led to bizarre, sometimes wondrous discoveries, surprising reversals and an unfathomable personal mystery.
