Illana Katz
Illana Katz (born 1948) is an author, lecturer, and founder of Real Life Storybooks, a publisher of special needs storybooks for children. Motivated by the late 1980s news that her son Seth had autism, Katz began to educate herself about autism, including researching into the life of theoretical physicist Albert Einstein. After writing ''Joey and Sam: A Heartwarming Storybook About Autism, a Family, and a Brother's Love'' in 1993, circumstances led Katz to write ''Sarah'', a 1994 book about child molestation. By 1995 Katz and her collaborator, UCLA professor Dr. Edward Ritvo, had gathered enough material to write their 1995 book, ''In a World of His Own: A Storybook About Albert Einstein'', in which they concluded that Einstein did have autism. Katz continues to work in the special needs profession.
==History==
In the late 1980s, Katz's son Seth (b. 1986)〔 was diagnosed with autism. Katz equated the autism diagnosis with death, "You suffer the death of your expectations for your child."〔 After overcoming her devastation and finding little written material on autism,〔 Katz began speaking with others in the field and going to meetings.〔 This gave her the details to write books about children, autism, and their vulnerability as a way to become more involved, more in control, and to make decisions for her son.〔
In 1992, Katz lived in West Hills, California and began collaborating on a book about autism with Dr. Edward Ritvo, a professor of Medicine at University of California, Los Angeles. The book, entitled "Joey and Sam: A Heartwarming Storybook About Autism, a Family, and a Brother's Love" and published in 1993, was focused on explaining autism to 4- to 8-year-olds.〔〔 Later that year, Katz founded Real Life Storybooks, a publisher of special needs storybooks for children.〔
