Publisher's Synopsis
You have probably always wanted to know what your loved one with Autism was thinking and why they do what they do. If you are like most of our clients, you probably have already tried getting help from a behavior therapist, speech therapist, occupational therapist, and so many more professionals. They have been able to offer some help, but your child still feels like a mystery. No matter how good a professional is, they can't get inside of your child's head. The only person who can tell you what it's really like to be Autistic is someone living with Autism. That's how we can help. This is Autism compiles stories of eleven Autistic adults who share what Autism means to them and how it has impacted their lives. Parents just like you who have heard the stories of our contributors through our panel Ask an Autistic that inspired this book are saying: "The opportunity to tune in and not only listen to, but interact with all the panelists on Ask An Autistic has honestly been one of the most valuable experiences I have ever had as a parent of an Autistic child. Everyone on the panel is so willing to offer candid advice, kind words and a listening ear, which is oftentimes hard to find. Jessica does a great job moderating and provides insightful feedback and examples of things she has experienced from a professional perspective as well. I have gleaned so much valuable information from this opportunity and will continue to join in weekly!" Leeza Woodbury Amazing opportunity for parents and professionals combined. I am a parent and professional. It was nice to gain insight and have my questions answered by those who know the most in the field, the Autistic community themselves. Great resource, valuable information!! Jessica Freeman "Having a newly diagnosed son on the spectrum is fear of the unknown. Interacting with the panel and watching these videos is my guide on my journey to parenting." R.P.
