Succeeding with Autism : Hear My Voice Paperback / softback
by Judith Cohen
Paperback / softback
Description
Michael is a young man who has succeeded in managing his autism and is experiencing success in life despite a diagnosis that might have predicted only disability and despair.
He did not talk in early childhood and displayed the classic traits of a severely autistic child, but he has broken out of his silence to help others to learn from his insights and experiences.
An explosion of newly diagnosed cases of autism has resulted in a keen interest in the stories of autistic individuals, and many people are touched by knowing a family with an autistic child.
This unique book reveals a silent world through the voice of an insightful, articulate young adult with autism.
The book also gives perspectives from Michael's family, friends and the professionals who have known him from diagnosis in early childhood through to adult, independent life.
After each chapter, the author presents "reflections" that highlight the key issues pertinent to autism and the relevant stage of development.
Michael's story is poignant and moving, and provides information and hope to families of autistic individuals and the professionals who work with them.
