Eugene Thibodeaux lived at a time when neurodiversity would not have been known to anyone, particularly to his family, his teachers, the parish priest and to his neighbours. All the worse, he grew up in a small mining town where peoples' predilections for inclusion were scarce if they existed at all. Yet he survived. Sure, there were trials that he endured but this is a story is not so much about the trials and tribulations encountered by Eugene, but of Adam McHenry, who became the unwitting "executor" of this quirky man's final wishes. Blind In One Eye is a story about self-awareness and how we come to view diversity in the world and ourselves in it. Cover Art - Amelie Stebbins

Although most of his career was spent in Special Education, 5 of his 29 years of his K-12 experience was in the general education stream (Grades, 4, 5, 7, & 8).

In 1970 he received his initial certification from Toronto Teacher's College (closed in 1978). He proceeded with his degree requirements concurrently after accepting his first teaching assignment in Mississauga, Ontario in 1970. He eventually graduated from York University in Toronto as an undergraduate (B.A. Sociology, 1974), and the University of Toronto for his graduate degrees (M. Ed., 1976 and Ed.D., 1998). In addition to his academic qualifications, he holds certifications in elementary, middle, and secondary as well as a Specialist Certificate in Special Education.
