GLIMPSE is a new publication of ICDL that will showcase the unique perspective contained in the writings and artwork of individuals with a history of autism and other developmental disabilities. We are seeking poetry, essays, reflections, short stories, photography, and two-dimensional artwork on any subject, so that we may gain a GLIMPSE into the rich inner life of these individuals. We are seeking work from individuals of all ages.

GLIMPSE will be published online and in hardcopy for purchase at cost.  We are planning the first issue to be available by the November ICDL conference, with yearly issues thereafter.

Submissions may be accepted, rejected, or accepted with editorial changes. Pieces may be held for possible inclusion in later editions. Pieces may not have been published elsewhere, unless you have secured written permission for reprinting. Final decision about inclusion in the magazine will fall to the co-editors.

Editors: Lori Jeanne Peloquin, PhD. and Austin Retzlaff

• Lori Jeanne is a clinical psychologist on the ICDL faculty and the mother of Austin, who has a history of autism spectrum disorder, but now carries no diagnosis and receives no special services.
• Austin is 15 and is on the staff of the literary magazine at his high school. His goal is to be a writer, and he is currently working on a fantasy novel.
