Publisher's Synopsis
It's Time to Change How People See Autism
In Rebranding Autism, Clain Udy eschews the traditional narrative around autism, offering a groundbreaking perspective that calls on readers to reimagine autism and see the strengths, potential, and unique talents of individuals on the spectrum. Drawing from his experiences as a parent of an autistic child, Udy challenges readers to shift from a deficit-focused perspective to one that sees autism through a refreshing and compelling strengths-based lens.
This insightful book is both a memoir and a practical guide that aims to dismantle the current assumptions and mindset around autism and empower parents, educators, and employers to recognize and nurture the inherent abilities of autistic individuals. As the title suggests, the book seeks to establish a new brand that goes beyond passive tolerance and accommodation and celebrates the neurodiverse strength of autism. Through personal stories, actionable advice, and an advocacy-driven approach, Rebranding Autism provides readers with a fresh roadmap for supporting neurodivergent individuals as they reimagine their own identities and redefine what it means to live with autism in today's world.
