Dewey: The Silent Boy

by Brant Vickers

Dewey is a Special Education student who doesn’t know where he came from. There are thousands of kids like Dewey in the system. Many are in foster care; wards of the state, and countless are abused and angry. Dewey uses his frustration a little bit differently than most. He is diagnosed with Autism, but chooses to be a selective mute. We hear Dewey’s voice through his thoughts and see what he sees wandering through his school days and nights. It is a gritty and truthful story about what goes on in some of our schools. Dewey has a history though, that even he’s not fully aware of. This journey and turbulent saga lets us into Dewey’s world, his school, and the cult where he ends up. We come to understand Dewey as he learns to understand himself and searchers for answers to his young life.
