Synopsis

According to his own confession, (Rev.) Romulus C. Kulik-Draco, aka (Rev.) Romulus Campan, has been "without prior consent, conceived, born, raised and condemned to live in the dark shadows of Asperger's syndrome, a form of ASD - Autism Spectrum Disorder". Confined by his brain structure to an existence of peculiar and difficult, cognitive and social patterns, he has experienced first-hand "the reality of Asperger's Autism, which in the aftermath of destruction following WW1 and WW2, and the never healing wounds left by the Holocaust, has ruined the lives of my grandparents, parents, and now that of my own, autistic family". Yet as a token for the improbable existence of miracles, after decades of abused suffering, of PTSD and Mental Health turmoil, he has found his raison d'être in "my autistic wife, and our four, uniquely amazing, autistic children, desperately trying to find some light, and the end of this tunnel called existence, hoping that it is not, again, just another passing train, with its load of pain, suffering and destruction".
