Gloves is an extremely gifted builder with autism who hopes one day he will speak. One day, a group of bullies attack him. Can Gloves learn to accept himself regardless?ABOUT MOTESEM MANSURMotesem Mansur was born on January 28, 1986 in Chicago, IL. He was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome at age four. His writing and artwork are fueled by his bad experiences in the Southwest Suburbs of Chicago. As a result, he has appeared on television and written several books about autism.Motesem Mansur is an artist at Project Onward, a studio and gallery for artists with mental and developmental disabilities, at the Bridgeport Art Center in Chicago."I strongly questioned myself and my abilities after the terrible things I went through since 2003. I still continue to go through personal torture and there are times I want to give up on life. However, I developed an art and writing career through the inspiration of my father. I'm changing people's lives and their views. That is the greatest impact a person could make to anyone."With the assistance of Project Onward, Motesem reads his stories and lectures to schools in Chicago and New York.
