Martin Pistorius
Martin Pistorius (born 1975) is a South African freelance web designer, developer, and author〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01lsd79 )〕 best known for his 2011 book ''Ghost Boy'', in which he describes living with locked-in syndrome and being unable to move for 12 to 14 years.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cbc.ca/thecurrent/episode/2010/02/19/february-19-2010/ )〕 When he was 12 he began losing voluntary motor control and eventually fell into a coma for three years. He began regaining consciousness around age 16 and achieved full consciousness by age 19, although he was still completely paralyzed with the exception of his eyes. He was unable to communicate with other people until his caregiver Virna van der Walt noticed that he could use his eyes to respond to things she said. She sent him to the University of Pretoria for testing, where they confirmed he was conscious and aware of his surroundings.
His parents then gave him a speech computer, and he began slowly regaining some upper body functions. In 2008 he met his wife Joanna through his sister Kim, who had moved to the United Kingdom for work. He moved to Britain to be with her, and the pair married in 2009. He co-wrote his autobiography ''Ghost Boy'' with Megan Lloyd Davies, which was published in 2011. As of 2011, Pistorius has regained limited control over his head and arms but still needs his speech computer to communicate with others.
