He was always a kid who went to the beat of his own drummer. When he was 5, we began making photographs collaboratively as a way to find some common ground and attempt to understand each other. Soon after we began the project, Elijah was diagnosed on the autistic spectrum. Though the diagnosis gave me the words and history to understand my son better, it didn’t take away the mystery and the need to try to find an emotional bridge to him.”Echolilia” is an alternate spelling of a more common term, “echolalia,” used in the autistic community to refer to the habit of verbal repetition and copying that is commonly found in autistic kids’ behavior.

Infinite and haunting.<span><br/></span></p> <p>Editor’s Note: <a href="http://instagram.com/p/PApB6kBv5_/">Co-signed.</a></p>http://mattressesunderwater.tumblr.com/post/49221207464http://mattressesunderwater.tumblr.com/post/49221207464Mon, 29 Apr 2013 20:54:40 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5u95wJDKp1qg8heno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://mattressesunderwater.tumblr.com/post/49221194027http://mattressesunderwater.tumblr.com/post/49221194027Mon, 29 Apr 2013 20:54:31 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/752561c63935bc7d2ea648dcda5f31ab/tumblr_mlqi32anPQ1r8sb1bo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://mattressesunderwater.tumblr.com/post/49221187956http://mattressesunderwater.tumblr.com/post/49221187956Mon, 29 Apr 2013 20:54:27 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/bec6777ef19dbbc2e64313223d5f0731/tumblr_mlvfs5KCrA1qbcporo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b2bf86e280948648d4cc03ae3d8e833f/tumblr_mlvfs5KCrA1qbcporo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/>http://mattressesunderwater.tumblr.com/post/49221144221http://mattressesunderwater.tumblr.com/post/49221144221Mon, 29 Apr 2013 20:53:56 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/850b5ae0351809aad1b67e1e0aea5b6a/tumblr_mhnha8iRUC1rlfv8no1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://mattressesunderwater.tumblr.com/post/49221139423http://mattressesunderwater.tumblr.com/post/49221139423Mon, 29 Apr 2013 20:53:52 -0400<p><a href="http://mattressesunderwater.tumblr.com/ask/">http://mattressesunderwater.tumblr.com/ask/</a></p>http://mattressesunderwater.tumblr.com/post/49127960781http://mattressesunderwater.tumblr.com/post/49127960781Sun, 28 Apr 2013 18:11:09 -0400<iframe src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F81367665&liking=false&sharing=false&origin=tumblr" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" class="soundcloud_audio_player" width="500" height="116"></iframe><br/><br/><p>MIA - MATANGI Mix for Kenzo</p>http://mattressesunderwater.tumblr.com/post/49126877329http://mattressesunderwater.tumblr.com/post/49126877329Sun, 28 Apr 2013 18:10:15 -0400SoundCloudMIAuk<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/6ad0e48ea5f011c1a6a7814829bdfc6a/tumblr_mlyrreFtXv1rp15mro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://mattressesunderwater.tumblr.com/post/49127810743http://mattressesunderwater.tumblr.com/post/49127810743Sun, 28 Apr 2013 18:09:12 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e54b95f8885caaa0ebeee336dde0b68f/tumblr_mlcq1zCxnJ1rje5x2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><em>M.I.A. photographed by Ryan McGinley</em></p>http://mattressesunderwater.tumblr.com/post/49127665584http://mattressesunderwater.tumblr.com/post/49127665584Sun, 28 Apr 2013 18:07:20 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/2a9144f3573230a52bd3831951a09fda/tumblr_mln7yso5pb1soll4go1_400.gif"/><br/><br/>http://mattressesunderwater.tumblr.com/post/49127290728http://mattressesunderwater.tumblr.com/post/49127290728Sun, 28 Apr 2013 18:02:31 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/c53ae9479588bba3cc018b7aa28baa09/tumblr_mlpxuupIqB1soll4go1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://mattressesunderwater.tumblr.com/post/49127221851http://mattressesunderwater.tumblr.com/post/49127221851Sun, 28 Apr 2013 18:01:42 -0400
