PLEASE HOLD FOR MARTHA IRVINE STORY: In this Wednesday, March 2, 2016 photo, Sam Alexander walks with is son Ben in an effort to calm him down following an outburst during a class for screenwriting at Tulane University in New Orleans. Alexander, 22, has nonverbal autism, a condition that became apparent when he was 2 years old. He has found his voice through writing using what is known as “facilitated communication,” a method in which another person steadies the hand of the autistic person, so he or she can communicate through typing.
